Long overdue maintenance

on GitHub

Due to some great contributions I'm happy to announce a new release of http-proxy containing numerous bug fixes, feature additions and documentation improvements. Thanks to all who contributed for their patience and willingness to contribute despite perceived stagnation in activity in the project. I welcome all contributions and those who are interested in getting more involved with the project. Below I will highlight the changes that landed in the latest version but you can find the full diff of the changes in #1251
