TL;DR

When proxy target is not running, the error message in the browser shows the origin, not the target host, which is misleading.

Long:

I have a .proxyrc.json

{
  "/api": {
    "target": "http://foobar/",
    "pathRewrite": {
      "^/api": ""
    }
  }
}

When target is not running, I get the err in browser:

Error occured while trying to proxy to: localhost/upload

when opening

http://localhost/api/upload

which is misleading. I would prefer

Error occured while trying to proxy to: foobar/upload

Tracked the error down to https://github.com/chimurai/http-proxy-middleware/blob/master/src/handlers.ts but do not know, what to change for a PR, and for which project.
