Image Proxy Server

This repository contains a simple image proxy server built with Node.js and Express.js. The server allows you to fetch and serve images from remote URLs by providing the image URL as a query parameter. It retrieves the image, sets the appropriate Content-Type header, and streams the image data as the response.

Features

• Fetch and serve images from remote URLs
• Support for various image formats and Content-Type handling
• Lightweight and efficient with Express.js
• Easy to use and deploy

3. Install the dependencies:

   npm install express axios
   

4. Start the server:

   cd image-proxy-server
   node server.js
   
   

5. Send a GET request to the /image endpoint with the image URL as a query parameter:

    GET /image?url=https://example.com/image.jpg
   
   

   The server will fetch the image, set the appropriate Content-Type header, and stream the image data as the response.
