I want to create a proxy-server in Node.js and I'm trying to figure out what npm-package to use. I recently read some people are trying to create malware packages with similar names to frequently used npm-packages (typosquatting, source). That made me suspicious when I saw the name 'httpp-proxy' just before installing.

Does anyone know the difference between the http-proxy and httpp-proxy packages?

I looked into http-proxy and it looked like it had a big community

262,764 downloads in the last day
1,604,883 downloads in the last week
6,922,320 downloads in the last month

You can safely use that

Wow only 221 downloads last month for httpp-proxy. I should have thought about looking at the statistics. Feeling dumb now. Thanks for your quick response!
