Node js npm httpp-proxy vs http-proxy

I want to create a proxy-server in Node.js and I'm trying to figure out what npm-package to use. I recently read some people are trying to create malware packages with similar names to frequently used npm-packages (typosquatting, source). That made me suspicious when I saw the name 'httpp-proxy' just before installing.

Does anyone know the difference between the http-proxy and httpp-proxy packages?

I looked into http-proxy and it looked like it had a big community

262,764 downloads in the last day
1,604,883 downloads in the last week
6,922,320 downloads in the last month

You can safely use that
