Node JS HTTP Proxy hanging up

I have an http-proxy to proxy any website and inject some custom JS file before to serve the HTML back to the client. Whenever I try to access the proxied website, it will hang up or the browser seems to load indeterminately. But when I check the HTML source, I successfully managed to inject my custom JavaScript file. Here is the code:

const cheerio = require('cheerio');
const http = require('http');
const httpProxy = require('http-proxy');
const { ungzip } = require('node-gzip');

_initProxy(host: string) {
    let proxy = httpProxy.createProxyServer({});
    let option = {
        target: host,
        selfHandleResponse: true
    };

    proxy.on('proxyRes', function (proxyRes, req, res) {
        let body = [];
        proxyRes.on('data', function (chunk) {
            body.push(chunk);
        });
        proxyRes.on('end', async function () {
            let buffer = Buffer.concat(body);
            if (proxyRes.headers['content-encoding'] === 'gzip') {
                try {
                    let $ = null;
                    const decompressed = await ungzip(buffer);
                    const scriptTag = '<script src="my-customjs.js"></script>';
                    $ = await cheerio.load(decompressed.toString());
                    await $('body').append(scriptTag);
                    res.end($.html());
                } catch (e) {
                    console.log(e);
                }
            }
        });
    });

    let server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
        proxy.web(req, res, option, function (e) {
            console.log(e);
        });
    });

    console.log("listening on port 5051");
    server.listen(5051);
}

Can someone please tell me if I am doing anything wrong, it looks like node-http-proxy is dying a lot and can't rely much on it since the proxy can work sometimes and die at the next run, depending on how many times I ran the server.

I ended up writing a small Python Server using CherryPy and proxied the web app with mitmproxy. Everything is now working smoothly. Maybe I was doing it wrong with node-http-proxy but I also became sceptic about using it in a production environment.
