A repl tool over HTTP(s)

Use as a middleware

Click here for a full example.

const express = require('express')
const replOverHttp = require('repl-over-http')

const app = express()

const middleware = replOverHttp() // create a `function (req, res)` middleware

app.put('/repl', middleware)

Screenshot

note about curl

We can connect server with cmd curl -sNT. http://localhost:8081/repl.

But if reponse from server too large, curl will crash ~

Security

For security reason, we only allow request from localhost by default. Custom with option preflight.
