[30] Proxy Static Pages

[danivovich]

Map a proxy such that URLs attempt to load jekyll content from the static pages content.

Implements #30

one smaller issue is that the login and sign up button in the header go to the production login.gov site, so devs will need to log in to localhost via the /dashboard route (any 404 redirects there)

maybe this is a dumb question or I don't understand how it works, but if the rails app is hosted on www.challenge.gov, and we reverse proxy to that same domain, won't it just create an infinite loop? are we migrating the jekyll server to a different domain?

The links to the active challenges on the homepage are broken. The URL path it is constructing is basically doubled up (see path= in the log output). Seems like the gsub for rewriting the links on the page isn't working on the BASE_URL gsub correctly because the links include that in the path still. Another issue is that it's not including the params in the request but I think the jekyll server needs the challenge param, e.g. ?challenge=eval-challenge-test, to fetch the correct challenge.

Here are some request logs where I put in some debug logging:

FYI, this URL is working locally: http://localhost:3000/?challenge=eval-challenge-test

oh it's because the react app is loading those from the data API after the initial page load 🫤
