Question

How to serve static file eg index.html from different server

Answer 1

A proxy such as http-proxy-middleware can do this:

var express = require('express');
var proxy = require('http-proxy-middleware');

var app = express();

app.use('/api', proxy({target: 'http://www.example.org', changeOrigin: true}));
app.listen(3000);

// http://localhost:3000/api/foo/bar -> http://www.example.org/api/foo/bar
