Reverse HTTP Client

reverse-http is a JavaScript client library designed to establish a reverse HTTP connection to a server that supports the Reverse HTTP (PTTH/1.0) draft specification. This unique protocol allows an outbound HTTP connection from a client to act as a server, receiving incoming HTTP requests from the remote endpoint. The library is currently at version 1.3.0 and explicitly requires a Node.js runtime of version 0.12 or higher. Given the extremely old engine requirement, it is effectively unmaintained for modern Node.js environments and does not follow a current release cadence. Its primary differentiator is its specific implementation of the niche PTTH/1.0 protocol, offering a way for clients behind restrictive firewalls or NATs to expose services.
