DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT error

Can be avoided by:

process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = "0" # Avoids DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT error for self-signed certs

But maybe there is a better option.
I didn't find the option in your readme.

There is an option called rejectUnauthorized.
https://nodejs.org/api/tls.html

Seems that it's the option to look into:

var req = (ssl ? https : http).request({ rejectUnauthorized������������������������������������������������������: false })

You'll have to make an opiton for this one

@halt-hammerzeit:
I encountered same issue, I fixed it by adding the rejectUnauthorized option in decorateRequest:

app.use('/proxy', proxy('www.google.com', {
  forwardPath: function(req, res) {
    return require('url').parse(req.url).path;
  },
  decorateRequest: function(req) {
       req.rejectUnauthorized=false;
       return req;
  }
}));

Also recently I found out about Node.js TLS module ca option which takes your self-generated root CA and then this error goes away.
