# active-x-obfuscator
A module to (safely) obfuscate all occurrences of the string 'ActiveX' inside
any JavaScript code.
## Why?
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.
## Install
```
npm install active-x-obfuscator
```
## Usage
```js
var activeXObfuscator = require('active-x-obfuscator');
var code = 'foo(new ActiveXObject());';
var obfuscated = activeXObfuscator(code);
// -> foo(new window[(['Active'].concat('Object').join('X'))])
```
