option.router with callback in arguments

See original GitHub issue

Hi, thanks for awesome library. I’m trying to use it as proxy for app but I have to do async actions to resolve new target.

It would be great to have possibility to do something like this:

var apiProxy = proxy('/api', {
  target: 'http://localhost:1234',
  router: function (req, callback) {
     myAsyncApi()
          .then(function(newTarget){
                 callback('newTarget');
          })
  }
});

Thank you for the kind words.

Never thought of the be used this way.

Will consider adding it if more users have to need for this.

I can achieve my goal by adding middleware before proxy to do that asynchronous actions before and keep ‘newTarget’ in req object. But still I would be nice to have ‘callback’ in arguments.
