Installing node http-proxy

Question

I am trying to install node http-proxy with the following:

npm install http-proxy

But I get this error:

npm ERR! Unsupported
npm ERR! Not compatible with your version of node/npm: [email protected]
npm ERR! Required: {"node":"= 0.4.7"}
npm ERR! Actual:   {"npm":"1.0.6","node":"v0.5.0-pre"}
npm ERR!
npm ERR! System Linux 2.6.18-028stab070.14
npm ERR! command "node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install" "http-proxy"

It says that it is unsupported with my version of Node.js. But I have v0.5.0 installed which is above the necessary v0.4.7.

Is node http-proxy only compatible with v0.4.7? Any ideas?

I'm guessing it's the 'v' in 'v0.5.0-pre' but I'm not sure how npm manages all that. — jcolebrand

I should point out that the latest version of http-proxy works with 0.6 and up. And there are a ton of fixes for adding proxies and discordant (https front and http back) proxying. — Elf Sternberg

I'd assume it's because the package.json for that module specifies a specific version of node ("engines": { "node": "= 0.4.7" }) as opposed to saying (>= 0.4.7). By contrast, the package.json for connect says "engines": { "node": ">= 0.4.1 < 0.5.0" }
