# Google Library APIs Mirror
This is a subset mirror of the [Google Libraries
API](http://code.google.com/apis/libraries/devguide.html) CDN meant to be served
from your local development machine when internet access is lacking.
## Instructions
**Step 0:** Clone this repository
git clone git://github.com/rmm5t/googleapis-mirror.git
**Step 1:** Run `rake sync` to download a copy of all the libraries listed in
`libraries.txt`.
_You'll probably want to run this step before you lose internet access._
**Step 2:** Run `sudo rake serve` or just `sudo rake` (serve is the default
task). This binds a new virtual IP address (172.16.88.88) to the loopback
interface, and maps `ajax.googleapis.com` to it using the OS X Directory
Service. It also starts a web server bound to the new virtual IP address such
that http://ajax.googleapis.com/ behaves like a local mirror for the Google
Libraries.
**NOTE: You must run this as sudo.** To stop the local web server mirror, just `Ctrl-C` the rake process.
## Alternatives
If you aren't on OS X, you can alternatively map ajax.googleapis.com to
127.0.0.1 using `/etc/hosts` or any equivalent. You will also need to create a
virtual host on your local web server to serve ajax.googleapis.com. Here's an
example for Apache:
ServerName ajax.googleapis.com
DocumentRoot "/path/to/googleapis-mirror"
Options Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
