Proxy Server

Introduction:

This repository houses a lightweight proxy server built using Node.js, Express, and the http-proxy library. The primary purpose of this proxy server is to receive requests from clients, manage API requests, and relay responses back to the clients. It provides a flexible and extensible solution for handling API communication within a network.

🧐 Features

Here're some of the project's best features:

• Proxy Middleware: Middleware to intercept requests and forward them to a specified API server.
• Logging: Detailed logging of incoming requests and successful forwarding.
• Error Handling: Graceful handling of errors during the proxying process.
• API Endpoint: An example API endpoint (/target) on the proxy server that participates in the proxying process.
• JSON Parsing: Middleware to parse JSON requests for better compatibility.

🛠️ Installation Steps:

1. node.js

npm init

2. express

npm install express

3. httpProxy
