Even when I use the sample provided:

var express = require('express');
var proxy = require('http-proxy-middleware');

var app = express();

app.use('/api', proxy({target: 'http://www.example.org', changeOrigin: true}));
app.listen(3000);

The output when I start the server is:

node prod-server.js
[HPM] Proxy created: /  ->  http://www.example.org

I am expecting:

node prod-server.js
[HPM] Proxy created: /api  ->  http://www.example.org

Have you gone to `/api` in your browser? It should be setup correctly. – dzm Nov 08 '17 at 15:06
Yes, it hangs for awhile then I get: Error occured while trying to proxy to: localhost:3000/api – that_guy Nov 08 '17 at 15:14
Your going to `http://localhost:3000/api` in your browser and you get that error? I copied the exact code you have and worked as expected. – dzm Nov 08 '17 at 15:18
Correct. I'm using node 6.11.2, "http-proxy-middleware": "0.17.4". – that_guy Nov 08 '17 at 15:22
Did some more digging, looking like the http proxy is working but my websocket proxying is not. – that_guy Nov 08 '17 at 15:27
Adding to the confusion, I made no changes but everything started working and websocket connection started upgrading... weird. – that_guy Nov 08 '17 at 15:42
I'm having same issue... – wonsuc Jan 25 '21 at 01:14
