bouncy HTTP Proxy and Router

library 3.2.2 ·javascript abandoned
verified Jun 17, 2026

bouncy is a low-level Node.js library that provides HTTP proxy and routing capabilities by wrapping `net.Server`. It allows programmatic redirection of raw HTTP traffic based on request headers (like `Host`), paths, or methods. Developers define routing logic within a callback function, gaining fine-grained control over request and response streams for tasks like load balancing or host-based multiplexing. Version `3.2.2` was published in October 2014, and the project shows no significant activity since then, indicating it is abandoned. It differs from higher-level HTTP frameworks by operating directly with Node.js's `net` and `tls` modules, offering a more primitive, stream-oriented approach to proxying.
