I'm using node package http-server to serve my web pages locally. Suddenly it started failing to connect to the proxy server. Searched in stackoverflow but didn't get satisfied answer for this scenario. Please help.

Here are the commands and logs:

http-server -p 8000 app/ --proxy localhost:3000 Starting up http-server, serving app/ Available on: http:127.0.0.1:8000 http:192.168.1.6:8000 Unhandled requests will be served from: localhost:3000 Hit CTRL-C to stop the server

Found the issue. My bad. The proxy address has to be inside the quotation mark. No idea when it has become mandatory to be quoted. Here is the example command if it helps anyone -

http-server app/ -p 8000 --proxy 'http://localhost:3000'

or simply the following (default port and current-dir instead of specifying a folder 'app')

http-server --proxy 'http://localhost:3000'
