Title:
  New http_relay package for Noble (for Robotics community)

Status in http-relay package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The http_relay package is small python package that acts as reverse
  HTTP proxy for for HTTP get requests from localhost to a remote host.

  Package PPA:
   https://code.launchpad.net/~j-rivero/+archive/ubuntu/http-relay/+packages
  Bzr repository: 
   https://code.launchpad.net/~j-rivero/+junk/http-relay

  [Other info]

  I have the package ready on Debian https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/http_relay
  but the sponsoring process has taken longer than expected. It would be great to have the
  package in 24.04 (feature freeze is coming soon) so it is probably easier to import it
  directly in Noble.

  [Justification]
  The package was questioned to be needed and other alternatives were asked during its
  inclusion in the ROS (Robot Operative System) ecosystem but the author explained that
  no valid alternative was found in pip or among Debian/Ubuntu packages. The ROS Community
  ended up suggestion to include it as a Debian/Ubuntu package:
