JSON Cache Server

This simple HTTP server is used to test APIs without hitting request limits.

Usage

• Create a config file in the same folder as the executable, with the following structure:

{
    "APIURL": "https://<api endpoint>",
    "ServerPort": <server port>,
    "CacheExpiry": <cache expiry in hours>
}

• Build and run, and use this server's IP address as the new API host;
• Everything present in the URL's path will be forwarded to the real API, and returned from cache in subsequent requests;
• Requests are cached by hashing the URL path, and cache expiry is checked per hash, so different endpoints might have different cache expiries;
