Answer 1

in order to change the location headers try using res.location()

proxy.on('proxyRes', function (proxyRes, req, res) {

 res.location('http:/c/d/');

});

res.location just sets the response header. It does not set a response status code or close the response, so you can write a response body it you want, and you have to call res.end() on your own after.

Hope this helps.
