    target: 'http://localhost:5001'
});

// Listen for the `proxyRes` event on `proxy`.
proxy.on('proxyRes', function (proxyRes, req, res) {
    modifyResponse(res, proxyRes.headers['content-encoding'], function (body) {
        if (body) {
            // modify some information

    proxy.web(req, res);
}).listen(5000);

    });

    res.write = function (data) {
        gzip.write(data);
