New http_relay package for Noble (for Robotics community)

[Jose Luis Rivero]

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:

[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:
