The http-proxy-agent package, a vital tool for developers needing to route HTTP and HTTPS traffic through proxies, has released version 7.0.2, succeeding the previous stable version 7.0.1. Both versions maintain the same core functionality, offering an http.Agent implementation designed specifically for interacting with HTTP(S) proxies. Key dependencies like agent-base and debug remain at compatible versions, ensuring continued stability and familiar debugging capabilities for developers already using the library. The development dependencies, crucial for contributing to and testing the package, also see no significant changes, indicating a focus on maintaining the existing codebase.
The primary difference between the two versions lies in the details of the packaged distribution. Version 7.0.2 exhibits a slightly smaller unpacked size of 23348 bytes compared to version 7.0.1's 23393 bytes. This small reduction suggests minor optimizations or adjustments within the package contents. Most notably, version 7.0.2 was released on February 15, 2024, a few days after version 7.0.1 which was released on February 12, 2024. This quick release cycle likely indicates a response to a minor bug fix or improvement identified shortly after the initial 7.0.1 release. Developers should upgrade to the newest version to benefit from these potential fixes and ensure they are using the most up-to-date and potentially refined iteration of the http-proxy-agent.
