# Patches
|
|
Contains monkey patches for certain packages, applied using `patch-package`.
|
|
|
|
## `http-proxy+1.18.1.patch`
|
|
Modifies the `http-proxy` package to work around an incompatibility with
|
|
body-parser and SOCKS5 proxies due to some esoteric stream handling behavior
|
|
when `socks-proxy-agent` is used instead of a generic http.Agent.
|
|
|
|
Modification involves adjusting the `buffer` property on ProxyServer's `options`
|
|
object to be a function that returns a stream instead of a stream itself. This
|
|
allows us to give it a function which produces a new Readable from the already-
|
|
parsed request body.
|
|
|
|
With the old implementation we would need to create an entirely new ProxyServer
|
|
instance for each request, which is not ideal under heavy load.
|
|
|
|
`http-proxy` hasn't been updated in six years so it's unlikely that this patch
|
|
will be broken by future updates, but it's stil pinned to 1.18.1 for now.
