Node.js HTTP Proxy Server

The `proxy` package provides a programmatic HTTP(S) proxy server API for Node.js, allowing developers to script custom proxy logic. Its current stable version is `4.0.0`, which notably raised the minimum Node.js requirement to version 20. The project maintains an active release cadence, with recent updates across its associated `proxy-agent` ecosystem, ensuring compatibility and improvements. Key differentiators include its simple `createProxy` API for building custom proxy servers, similar to established solutions like Squid or Privoxy, but integrated directly within a Node.js environment. It supports both standard HTTP proxying and the HTTP `CONNECT` method for tunneling. The package also includes a companion CLI tool for quick server spawning.
