This is a nice library, but I don't think it's newsworthy enough to be listed on HN. I hope we don't see another listing when the library hits version 0.5.1.

Thanks for the compliments about node-http-proxy. Definitely won't see another update on this until 1.0.0 (full RFC2616 compliance).

I have to disagree with you about it's notoriety. With the v0.5.0 release we have some really interesting features (HTTPS, Websockets) that you simply won't find in other battle-hardened production-ready HTTP proxies. For example, HAProxy has neither of these features and is the library of choice for a lot of developers / sysadmins

Apparently the crowd-wisdom of voters begs to differ! At any given time the HN home page is a menu with 30 choices to pick from. I'm never interested in more than 20% of those but these are always worthwhile. You came here to state your opinion rather than simply ignore the article? Bordering on trollish?...

The number of Node.js related posts with few or no comments is growing. Are people just blindly upvoting Node.js posts regardless of how interesting they are?

(evidence: (a) this post is currently 2nd from the top, no comments before mine. (b) http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2455893 reached 62 upvotes, zero comments. (c) http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2457672 8 from the top, one comment)

This phenomenon isn't specific to only Node.js submissions, it happens pretty often in tech- or programming-heavy submissions. I save mostly these types of submissions, and looking through my most recent saved history, Compiling With Continuations [1] received 94 upvotes with only 3 comments, and the Programming Language Zoo [2] reached 65 upvotes with the same number of comments. The trend continues (with some exceptions) throughout my saved history. There is definitely an demand for these types of posts on HN, but the lack of comments is open to interpretation.
