Connect Proxy Middleware

proxy-middleware offers a basic HTTP(S) proxy capability designed as middleware for the Connect framework. It enables developers to configure specific URL paths that forward incoming requests to an alternate target URL, supporting both HTTP and HTTPS protocols. The package's latest stable version is 0.15.0. It integrates directly into the Connect framework, a popular Node.js web framework from an earlier era. Given its age (last updated in 2016), the package is effectively abandoned, meaning it receives no further updates, security patches, or feature enhancements. This significantly limits its utility and makes it unsuitable for new projects or production environments in modern Node.js ecosystems, which have moved towards more feature-rich and actively maintained alternatives like `http-proxy-middleware` or `node-http-proxy`.
