in-memory resources are not loaded after proxy bypass #612
Description
When using proxy's bypass function, resources that are bypassed and are part of the in-memory webpack bundle are not retrieved. Instead, only files from the filesystem are retrieved.
Example:
Running the server using --inline
proxy: [{
context: ['**'],
target: 'http://someOtherServer:1234/',
bypass: function(req, res, proxyOptions) {
if (req.url.indexOf('clientlib-all.js') != -1) {
return '/bundle.js'; // this file is part of the webpack bundle and should be loaded from memory, but it's not. Instead it returns a 404 _or_ if the file exists on the file system, that one is loaded instead.
}
return false;
}
}];I've fixed this locally by manually editing webpack-dev-server's Server.js file:
// ... line 269
var defaultFeatures = ["setup", "headers", "middleware"];
if(options.proxy)
defaultFeatures.push("proxy"); // add a second parameter with value "middleware" to this .push call and it works
// ...webpack: tested with 1.13.2, although bug is in server, not in webpack itself
webpack-dev-server: confirmed on 1.16.1 but might also be present in 2.x
OS: OSX 10.11.6, local installation
