The `http-headers` package provides a utility to parse HTTP request and response start-lines and headers into a structured JavaScript object. It can process raw string or Buffer data containing complete HTTP messages, or directly extract and parse headers from Node.js `http.ServerResponse` objects. Key features include automatic body detection and ignored parsing, RFC 2068 compliance, and support for multi-line and repeating headers. The current stable version is 3.0.2. This package appears to be unmaintained; its last update was several years ago, meaning it does not receive active development, bug fixes, or compatibility updates for newer Node.js versions or HTTP standards (e.g., HTTP/2, HTTP/3). Its primary differentiator was simplifying the extraction of response headers from Node's internal `_header` property, which was not easily accessible otherwise.
