Transitive deprecated dependencies
Author: YurickhCreated Jun 1, 2026Updated Jul 22, 2026
http-server currently depends on http-encoding-sniffer@3.
http-encoding-sniffer@3 in turn, adds a deprecated dependency to the dependency chain, whatwg-encoding.
This dependency has been removed from http-encoding-sniffer since http-encoding-sniffer@5.
According to http-encoding-sniffer's changelogs, the only breaking change is dropping the support for node between 16-20.
Currently http-server supports node 16 though, so in order to bump http-encoding-sniffer, we'd have to release a major dropping that support as well.
