Redirects

Setting up HTTP redirects is simple with SVR.JS. You can add a 301 or 302 code (with scode property set to 301 or 302) entry to the nonStandardCodes property in config.json. The entry should specify the source URL for the redirect in the url or regular expression string for the redirect in regex property (for example "/\\/blog($|[#?\\/].*)/"), and the destination URL in the location property (for regular expressions, you can use for example "$1" for contents of the first capturing group). Destination location can be relative to the current site (for example /blogs) or a full URL (for example https://blog.example.com).

Please be cautious when setting up redirects to avoid redirect loops, as they can cause unintended behavior and potentially impact the performance of your server.

Starting from SVR.JS 3.8.0, you can specify a hostname for which this redirect applies using the host property. If you want to move your website to a new address, you can add a redirect to the new website and specify the host property to be the hostname of the old website (for example oldsite.example), the location property to be the location of the new website with "$1" appended (for example "https://newsite.example$1"), and the regex property to be "/(.*)/" (a regular expression, which matches everything to the capturing group).

URL rewriting

You can set up URL rewriting by adding entries to the rewriteMap property in the config.json file. See the "config.json properties" section for URL rewrite rules syntax.

Log viewing

SVR.JS 3.x and later includes a log viewer utility under logviewer.js. The SVR.JS log viewer is interactive.

You can also manually view logs and highlight them using the SVR.JS log highlighter utility under loghighlight.js (SVR.JS 3.0.0 or newer).

Usage:

<some process> | node loghighlight.js [-h] [--help] [-?] [/h] [/?]

SVR.JS stores it's logs in log directory. Server logs look like this:
