  Description     : basic rate-limiting middleware for node-express

node-express-rate-limit is a middleware for the Express web framework that
limits the number of requests a client may issue within a configurable time
window. It is typically used to protect public APIs and sensitive endpoints
(such as login or password-reset routes) against brute-force attacks and abuse.

Requests beyond the limit receive an HTTP 429 "Too Many Requests" response,
and standardised RateLimit headers are sent to inform clients of their quota.
The middleware ships an in-memory store and can be extended with external
stores (Redis, Memcached, ...) for use across multiple server instances.

This package is a dependency of ldap-rtest ans will be maintained under
JS Team umbrella.
