Server

You can use SPREAD with the provided server.js by running the following command:

npm start

This server acts as a proxy, allowing you to download resources using the withProxy parameter in the query string. For example:

http://localhost:8080/?tree=https://example.com/tree.nwk&withProxy

You can set custom variables to control the proxy:

• SERVER_JSON_LIMIT=10mb
• SERVER_URLENCODED_LIMIT=5mb
• SERVER_MAX_DOWNLOAD_SIZE_KB=1024
• SERVER_ALLOWED_DOMAINS_FOR_DOWNLOAD=domain1.com,domain2.com

Example:

Windows:

set SERVER_JSON_LIMIT=2mb && set SERVER_URLENCODED_LIMIT=2mb && set SERVER_MAX_DOWNLOAD_SIZE_KB=1024 && node server.js

Linux:

SERVER_JSON_LIMIT=2mb SERVER_URLENCODED_LIMIT=2mb SERVER_MAX_DOWNLOAD_SIZE_KB=1024 node server.js

You can also specify your proxy:

http://localhost:8080/?tree=https://example.com/tree.nwk&withProxy=https://myproxy.com

SPREAD will use the following format for the proxy URL: https://myproxy.com/download?url={url}
