HTTP Security libraries allow you to set HTTP headers on your API requests that help make your app more secure. These headers include things like CORS and authentication tokens. You can also use them to detect things like CSRF attacks. The Helmet module provides a handy utility that allows you to protect your Express apps from many common security problems. The Helmet module will automatically configure many of the common HTTP headers that are important for securing Express apps. Go-http-tunnel is a Go package that provides a middleware for transparently tunneling and/or proxying arbitrary TCP connections over HTTP. Go-http-tunnel is most commonly used to tunnel SSH connections, but can be used to create arbitrary tunnels between your network and the public internet. Many developers depend on the following open source HTTP Security libraries
