{"library":"forever-agent","type":"library","category":null,"description":"forever-agent is a Node.js module that provides an HTTP Agent designed to maintain persistent socket connections between `http.request` calls, enabling HTTP keep-alive behavior. It was originally an internal component of the widely popular, but now deprecated, `request` HTTP client library. The current stable version, 0.6.1, was last published over 11 years ago in April 2015. With the official deprecation of its progenitor `request` library in 2020, forever-agent itself is considered unmaintained and has seen no significant updates for over a decade. Its key differentiator was offering direct control over connection pooling for keep-alive outside of the `request` library, at a time when native Node.js HTTP client features were less developed regarding persistent connections.","language":"javascript","status":"abandoned","version":"0.6.1","tags":["javascript"],"last_verified":"Wed May 27","install":[{"cmd":"npm install forever-agent","imports":["const ForeverAgent = require('forever-agent');","const agent = new ForeverAgent();"]},{"cmd":"yarn add forever-agent","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add forever-agent","imports":[]}],"homepage":null,"github":"https://github.com/mikeal/forever-agent","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/forever-agent","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":{"summary":{"python_range":"18–22","success_rate":0,"avg_install_s":null,"avg_import_s":null,"wheel_type":null},"url":"https://checklist.day/v1/registry/forever-agent/compatibility"}}
