  Description     : FIX_ME write the Debian package description                                              

It is suitable for implementing components suhc as reverse proxies and load                                 

balancers.                                                                                                  

A new proxy is created by calling createProxyServer and passing an options                                  

object as argument.                                                                                         

var httpProxy = require('http-proxy');                                                                      

var proxy = httpProxy.createProxyServer(options);                                                           

.                                                                                                           

This package is useful for Node.js web applications                                                         

that want to support websockets.

I plan to maintain this as part of the js-team, and am in need of a sponsor. This is blocked by node-eventemitter3, which is in the process of being packaged.
