Automatic Public Domain for development

[kataras]

Wouldn't be great to test your application in a more "real-world environment" like a public, remote, address instead of localhost?

There are plenty of third-party tools offering such a feature, but in my opinion, the ngrok one is the best among them. It's popular and tested for years, like Iris, in fact, it has 700 stars more than Iris itself! Great job @inconshreveable!

Iris has a ngrok migration feature. Follow the steps below to make your local Iris web server a public one.

1. Go head and download ngrok, add it to your $PATH environment variable,
2. Simply pass the iris.WithTunneling configurator in your app.Run,
3. You are ready to GO!

• It doesn't matter if ngrok is already running or not, Iris framework is smart enough to use ngrok's web API to create a tunnel.

Full Tunneling configuration

app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"), iris.WithConfiguration(
	iris.Configuration{
		Tunneling: iris.TunnelingConfiguration{
			AuthToken:    "my-ngrok-auth-client-token",
			Bin:          "/bin/path/for/ngrok",
			Region:       "eu",
			WebInterface: "127.0.0.1:4040",
			Tunnels: []iris.Tunnel{
				{
					Name: "MyApp",
					Addr: ":8080",
				},
			},
		},
}))

• ctx.Application().ConfigurationReadOnly().GetVHost() returns the public domain value. Rarely useful but it's there for you. Most of the times you use relative url paths instead of absolute(or you should to).
