v1.0.0

• BREAKING: The parseUrl() function slightly changed its behavior (see README for details):
  • it no longer returns an object on invalid URLs and throws an exception instead
  • it URI-decodes username and password if possible
    (if not, the function keeps the username and password as is)
  • it adds back auth property for better backwards compatibility
• The above change should make it possible to pass upstream proxy URLs containing
  special characters, such as http://user:pass:[email protected]
  or http://us%35er:[email protected]. The parsing is done on a best-effort basis.
  The safest way is to always URI-encode username and password before constructing
  the URL, according to RFC 3986.
  This change should finally fix issues: #89, #67, and #108
• BREAKING: Improved error handling in createTunnel() and prepareRequestFunction() functions and provided better error messages. Both functions now fail if the upstream proxy URL contains colon (:) character in the username, in order to comply with RFC 7617. The functions now fail fast with a reasonable error, rather later and with cryptic errors.
• BREAKING: The createTunnel() function now lets the system assign potentially random listening TCP port, instead of the previous selection from range from 20000 to 60000.
• BREAKING: The undocumented findFreePort() function was moved from tools.js to test/tools.js
• Added the ability to access proxy CONNECT headers for proxy tunneling.
• Removed dependency on Node.js internal modules, hopefully allowing usage of this library in Electron.
• Got rid of the "portastic" NPM package and thus reduced bundle size by ~50%
• Various code improvements and better tests.
• Updated packages.
