Simple node.js proxy by piping http server to http request

Question

Trying to learn more about node.js by making a simple http proxy server. The use scenario is simple: user -> proxy -> server -> proxy -> user

The following code work

Answer 1

you dont have to 'pause', just 'pipe' is ok

var connector = http.request(options, function(res) {
  res.pipe(response, {end:true});//tell 'response' end=true
});
request.pipe(connector, {end:true});

http request will not finish until you tell it is 'end';
