## log-socket

tcp proxy socket that dumps everything through it to console.log - useful for debugging HTTP servers

## install

```

$ npm install log-socket

```

## usage

```js

var http = require('http')

var logsocket = require('logsocket')

var server = http.createServer(function(req, res){

	res.setHeader('x-test', 10)

	res.end('hello')

})

// redirect everything to this backend socket

var proxy = logsocket(8081, '127.0.0.1')

// Request data

proxy.on('input', function(chunk, enc){

	console.log(chunk.toString())	

})

// Response data

proxy.on('output', function(chunk, enc){

	console.log(chunk.toString())	

})

server.listen(8081)

proxy.listen(8080)

```

If you then curl to the logsocket - you will get a response from the backend HTTP server and the logsocket will dump all the traffic going through it

```

$ curl -L http://127.0.0.1:8080

```

## api

#### `var proxy = logsocket(port, [address, opts])`

Return a tcp socket that will proxy traffic back to address:port - the default for address is '127.0.0.1'

Opts are passed into `new net.Socket(opts)`

## events

Called when data is recieved by the socket

#### `proxy.on('output', function(chunk, enc){})`
