Google Analytics Via Node.js Proxy

Leave a Comment

I am trying to impliment a proxy for google analytics into my current site. I started by following this guide.

After following all the steps I get a 400 error returned from google with no further information.

I downloaded google's analytics.js file and put it on my server, and replaced all instances of www.google-analytics.com with "+location.host+"/analytics. See the file here: https://pastebin.com/wimHim7x

I edited my tracking code from google to replace 'https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js' with '/analytics.js'.

Here is the proxy info from my app.js file

function getIpFromReq (req) { // get the client's IP address     var bareIP = ":" + ((req.connection.socket && req.connection.socket.remoteAddress)         || req.headers["x-forwarded-for"] || req.connection.remoteAddress || "");     return (bareIP.match(/:([^:]+)$/) || [])[1] || "127.0.0.1"; }  // proxying requests from /analytics to www.google-analytics.com. app.use("/analytics", proxy("www.google-analytics.com", {     proxyReqPathResolver: function (req) {         var path = req.url + (req.url.indexOf("?") === -1 ? "?" : "&")             + "uip=" + encodeURIComponent(getIpFromReq(req));          console.log(path)          return path;     } })); 

This is the page I get returned from google:
