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.
