| 3 | ### An HTTP(s) proxy `http.Agent` implementation for HTTPS |
| 4 | [](https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-https-proxy-agent/actions?workflow=Node+CI) |
| 5 | |
| 6 | This module provides an `http.Agent` implementation that connects to a specified |
| 7 | HTTP or HTTPS proxy server, and can be used with the built-in `https` module. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Specifically, this `Agent` implementation connects to an intermediary "proxy" |
| 10 | server and issues the [CONNECT HTTP method][CONNECT], which tells the proxy to |
| 11 | open a direct TCP connection to the destination server. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Since this agent implements the CONNECT HTTP method, it also works with other |
| 14 | protocols that use this method when connecting over proxies (i.e. WebSockets). |
| 15 | See the "Examples" section below for more. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Installation |
| 19 | ------------ |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Install with `npm`: |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ``` bash |
| 24 | $ npm install https-proxy-agent |
| 25 | ``` |
| 26 | |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Examples |
| 29 | -------- |
| 30 | |
| 31 | #### `https` module example |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ``` js |
| 34 | var url = require('url'); |
| 35 | var https = require('https'); |
| 36 | var HttpsProxyAgent = require('https-proxy-agent'); |
| 37 | |
| 38 | // HTTP/HTTPS proxy to connect to |
| 39 | var proxy = process.env.http_proxy || 'http://168.63.76.32:3128'; |
| 40 | console.log('using proxy server %j', proxy); |
| 41 | |
| 42 | // HTTPS endpoint for the proxy to connect to |
| 43 | var endpoint = process.argv[2] || 'https://graph.facebook.com/tootallnate'; |
| 44 | console.log('attempting to GET %j', endpoint); |
| 45 | var options = url.parse(endpoint); |
| 46 | |
| 47 | // create an instance of the `HttpsProxyAgent` class with the proxy server information |
| 48 | var agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxy); |
| 49 | options.agent = agent; |
| 50 | |
| 51 | https.get(options, function (res) { |
| 52 | console.log('"response" event!', res.headers); |
| 53 | res.pipe(process.stdout); |
| 54 | }); |
| 55 | ``` |
| 56 | |
| 57 | #### `ws` WebSocket connection example |
| 58 | |
| 59 | ``` js |
| 60 | var url = require('url'); |
| 61 | var WebSocket = require('ws'); |
| 62 | var HttpsProxyAgent = require('https-proxy-agent'); |
| 63 | |
| 64 | // HTTP/HTTPS proxy to connect to |
| 65 | var proxy = process.env.http_proxy || 'http://168.63.76.32:3128'; |
| 66 | console.log('using proxy server %j', proxy); |
| 67 | |
| 68 | // WebSocket endpoint for the proxy to connect to |
| 69 | var endpoint = process.argv[2] || 'ws://echo.websocket.org'; |
| 70 | var parsed = url.parse(endpoint); |
| 71 | console.log('attempting to connect to WebSocket %j', endpoint); |
| 72 | |
| 73 | // create an instance of the `HttpsProxyAgent` class with the proxy server information |
| 74 | var options = url.parse(proxy); |
| 75 | |
| 76 | var agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(options); |
| 77 | |
| 78 | // finally, initiate the WebSocket connection |
| 79 | var socket = new WebSocket(endpoint, { agent: agent }); |
| 80 | |
| 81 | socket.on('open', function () { |
| 82 | console.log('"open" event!'); |
| 83 | socket.send('hello world'); |
| 84 | }); |
| 85 | |
| 86 | socket.on('message', function (data, flags) { |
| 87 | console.log('"message" event! %j %j', data, flags); |
| 88 | socket.close(); |
| 89 | }); |
| 90 | ``` |
| 91 | |
| 92 | API |
| 93 | --- |
| 94 | |
| 95 | ### new HttpsProxyAgent(Object options) |
| 96 | |
| 97 | The `HttpsProxyAgent` class implements an `http.Agent` subclass that connects |
| 98 | to the specified "HTTP(s) proxy server" in order to proxy HTTPS and/or WebSocket |
| 99 | requests. This is achieved by using the [HTTP `CONNECT` method][CONNECT]. |
| 100 | |
| 101 | The `options` argument may either be a string URI of the proxy server to use, or an |
| 102 | "options" object with more specific properties: |
| 103 | |
| 104 | * `host` - String - Proxy host to connect to (may use `hostname` as well). Required. |
| 105 | * `port` - Number - Proxy port to connect to. Required. |
| 106 | * `protocol` - String - If `https:`, then use TLS to connect to the proxy. |
| 107 | * `headers` - Object - Additional HTTP headers to be sent on the HTTP CONNECT method. |
| 108 | * Any other options given are passed to the `net.connect()`/`tls.connect()` functions. |
