I’m working on a project that let’s you host ‘log into’ several local services with a single username and password.
- I run a local NodeJS server that has a login system + JWT authentication
- That server can also proxy all http requests to another service. For example the route /proxy/syncthing proxies all requests over to localhost:12711 (the address the Syncthing API is on)
The way it works is when you sign into the Node Service, it sets up a cookie with a JWT. And when you go to /proxy/syncthing in the browser, the JWT cookie is verified before any request is proxied.
This system has been useful for simplifying access to several low bandwidth web services. I just tried adding Syncthing to it and it almost just worked.
The proxy service worked on every request EXCEPT the update config request. Every time I try running that request through the proxy I get a 400 error and see this in the logs: Decoding posted config: read tcp 127.0.0.1:12711->127.0.0.1:13855: i/o timeout
When I try accessing Syncthing without the proxy, everything works as expected.
I tried googling that error but I couldn’t find much information. Any ideas about what could be causing this error?
