Introducing Forge Server

Forge-Server is a richly featured proxy service that enables you to add controls to your static sites and javascript apps, something that's impossible to do with standard file-based static site hosting.

We'll show you how you can add pretty URLs, redirects, URL rewrites, custom 404 pages or even tell the server you want to exclude some of your files from hitting the CDN.

In order to use Forge Server, you simply need to add a forgerc file to the root of your project.

You can use the following supported file extensions, depending on your preference:

  • .forgerc (preferred)
  • forgerc.txt
  • forgerc.json

Regardless of what file format you choose, the content and formatting of your file will be the same, which we will look at next....
