-### How to proxy requests with a regular http server
-<pre>
-  var http = require('http'),
-      httpProxy = require('http-proxy');
-
-  // create a regular http server and proxy its handler
-  http.createServer(function (req, res){
-    var proxy = new httpProxy.HttpProxy;
-    proxy.watch(req, res);
-    // Put your custom server logic here
-    proxy.proxyRequest(9000, 'localhost', req, res);
-  }).listen(8001);
+### How to proxy requests with latent operations (IO, etc.)
 
-  http.createServer(function (req, res){
-    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
-    res.write('request successfully proxied: ' + req.url +'\n' + JSON.stringify(req.headers, true, 2));
-    res.end();
-  }).listen(9000);
+node-http-proxy supports event buffering, that means if an event (like 'data', or 'end') is raised by the incoming request before you have a chance to perform your custom server logic, those events will be captured and re-raised when you later proxy the request. Here's a simple example:
 
+<pre>
+  httpProxy.createServer(function (req, res, proxyRequest) {
+    setTimeout(function () {
+      proxyRequest(port, server);
+    }, latency);
+  }).listen(8081);
 </pre>
 
 ### Why doesn't node-http-proxy have more advanced features like x, y, or z?
 
 If you have a suggestion for a feature currently not supported, feel free to open a [support issue](http://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy/issues). node-http-proxy is designed to just proxy http requests from one server to another, but we will be soon releasing many other complimentary projects that can be used in conjunction with node-http-proxy.
