**Motivation:** http-proxy is one of the oldest and most famous nodejs modules, and it gets downloaded around 15 million times a week, and I've loved using it for years. Unfortunately, it is [unmaintained](https://github.com/http-party/node-http-proxy/issues/1687), it has significant leaks that [regularly crash production servers](https://github.com/jupyterhub/configurable-http-proxy/issues/434), and is written in ancient untyped Javascript. The maintainers have long since stopped responding, so there is no choice but to fork and start over. I wanted to do my part to help maintain the open source ecosystem, hence this library. I hope you find it useful.
