Simple HTTP Request Forwarder

library 0.1.3 ·javascript abandoned
verified May 27, 2026

http-forward is a minimalist Node.js library designed to proxy incoming HTTP requests to a specified target URL. It functions by attaching a `target` property to the `req.forward` object, allowing for basic request redirection within a Node.js `http.createServer` instance. This package is extremely lightweight and relies solely on Node.js's built-in `http` module. However, with its last publish date over ten years ago (version 0.1.3) and no apparent ongoing development, it is considered abandoned. It does not support modern JavaScript module syntax (ESM), HTTP/2, or contemporary security practices, and has no release cadence. Users are strongly advised to consider actively maintained and more feature-rich alternatives such as `http-proxy` or `http-proxy-middleware` for any new or existing projects requiring HTTP proxying in Node.js.
