API

mimicResponse(from, to)

Note #1: The from.destroy(error) function is not proxied. You have to call it manually:

import {PassThrough as PassThroughStream} from 'node:stream';
import mimicResponse from 'mimic-response';

const responseStream = getHttpResponseStream();

const myStream = new PassThroughStream({
	destroy(error, callback) {
		responseStream.destroy();

		callback(error);
	}
});

myStream.destroy();

Please note that myStream and responseStream never throw. The error is passed to the request instead.
