This change was made to avoid the error when install process is executed:

Error: Error getting DynamoDb local latest tar.gz location: 301 at ClientRequest.

for request behind a proxy, update with the following:

http.get({
        host: PROXY_HOST,
        port: PROXY_PORT,
        headers:    {
            'Proxy-Authorization':  'Basic ' + new Buffer(PROXY_USER + ':' + PROXY_PASSWORD).toString('base64')
        },
        path: downloadUrl
    }, function (response) {

FYI: This package (dynamodb-localhost) doesn't appear to be maintained, with no new releases to NPM in over 4 years.

Solution: You can use aws-dynamodb-local, a maintained fork, instead. (Disclaimer: I am a contributor to this fork). It is a drop-in replacement for this package, and is updated to fix this bug. If you're using serverless-dynamodb-local, you can also replace that with it's equivalent serverless-dynamodb.

Migrating takes about 2 minutes, with a full guide in the README. Of course, it's all still open-source and MIT licensed. Ownership of this new package sits with a registered charity, that is committed to maintaining the package into the future and is open to contributions from the community.
