This is just a simplification of the code really - I removed a lot of code that was just pretty much a copy of stream.pipe, and used stream.pipe instead.

I also removed a test that caused a bunch of subsequent tests to fail. The reasoning for this removal was that the test shouldn't pass. In the case that it was testing, it was aborting the connection, which in turn caused the proxy to abort the connection. Since this happened before the target server received any data, the test would hang, waiting for the connection to be made. http.request didn't send the data since it was aborted too early. The only way I can think of fixing this is to abort the request (without this other tests would fail), and then send a 'dummy' request so that the test passes. Since this is obviously the inappropriate behavior, and since I wanted to be able to use the subsequent tests, I removed the test in this pull request.

This leaves one more test that doesn't pass. This isn't any different from the master branch - a test is failing because the connection object has a circular reference, and assert.equal uses JSON.stringify. I'm not sure why the connection object has a circular reference, and if this is because of inaccurate behavior, so I left it alone.

We can't use pipe. It will crash the node processes. This is why we try {} catch (ex) {} around most attempts to write back to things.

I don't think that applies anymore in node v0.6, that's why this pull request was made. @AvianFlu do you know more about this?

Maybe I'm wrong. @isaacs is the man to summon here if you want a more detailed explaination. He put in the try {} catch (ex) {} blocks after some dilligent production debugging.

In my opinion, it'd be good to hold off on removing the try/catch blocks until we get the stream api cleaned up in node 0.9.

At that point, we'll revisit this use case explicitly, and probably add a bunch of tests that try to reproduce the production problems we were seeing. The goal is definitely to make node-http-proxy a much smaller module. :)

I use this patch to fix the problem where node-http-proxy over uses memory.

@naked That's a good point. We should remove the event listeners when these things emit end or close events.
