Description-en: Safely obfuscate the string 'ActiveX' inside of JavaScript code
This Node.js module (safely) obfuscates all occurrences of the string
'ActiveX' inside any JavaScript code.
.
Some corporate firewalls/proxies such as Blue Coat block JavaScript files
to be downloaded if they contain the word 'ActiveX'. That of course is very
annoying for libraries such as socket.io that need to use ActiveXObject for
supporting IE8 and older.
