| https-proxy-agent |
| ================ |
| ### An HTTP(s) proxy `http.Agent` implementation for HTTPS |
| [](https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-https-proxy-agent/actions?workflow=Node+CI) |
| |
| This module provides an `http.Agent` implementation that connects to a specified |
| HTTP or HTTPS proxy server, and can be used with the built-in `https` module. |
| |
| Specifically, this `Agent` implementation connects to an intermediary "proxy" |
| server and issues the [CONNECT HTTP method][CONNECT], which tells the proxy to |
| open a direct TCP connection to the destination server. |
| |
| Since this agent implements the CONNECT HTTP method, it also works with other |
| protocols that use this method when connecting over proxies (i.e. WebSockets). |
| See the "Examples" section below for more. |
| |
| |
| Installation |
| ------------ |
| |
| Install with `npm`: |
| |
| ``` bash |
| $ npm install https-proxy-agent |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| Examples |
| -------- |
| |
| #### `https` module example |
| |
| ``` js |
| var url = require('url'); |
| var https = require('https'); |
| var HttpsProxyAgent = require('https-proxy-agent'); |
| |
| // HTTP/HTTPS proxy to connect to |
| var proxy = process.env.http_proxy || 'http://168.63.76.32:3128'; |
| console.log('using proxy server %j', proxy); |
| |
| // HTTPS endpoint for the proxy to connect to |
| var endpoint = process.argv[2] || 'https://graph.facebook.com/tootallnate'; |
| console.log('attempting to GET %j', endpoint); |
| var options = url.parse(endpoint); |
| |
| // create an instance of the `HttpsProxyAgent` class with the proxy server information |
| var agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxy); |
| options.agent = agent; |
| |
| https.get(options, function (res) { |
| console.log('"response" event!', res.headers); |
| res.pipe(process.stdout); |
| }); |
| ``` |
| |
| #### `ws` WebSocket connection example |
| |
| ``` js |
| var url = require('url'); |
| var WebSocket = require('ws'); |
| var HttpsProxyAgent = require('https-proxy-agent'); |
| |
| // HTTP/HTTPS proxy to connect to |
| var proxy = process.env.http_proxy || 'http://168.63.76.32:3128'; |
| console.log('using proxy server %j', proxy); |
| |
| // WebSocket endpoint for the proxy to connect to |
| var endpoint = process.argv[2] || 'ws://echo.websocket.org'; |
| var parsed = url.parse(endpoint); |
| console.log('attempting to connect to WebSocket %j', endpoint); |
| |
| // create an instance of the `HttpsProxyAgent` class with the proxy server information |
| var options = url.parse(proxy); |
| |
| var agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(options); |
| |
| // finally, initiate the WebSocket connection |
| var socket = new WebSocket(endpoint, { agent: agent }); |
| |
| socket.on('open', function () { |
| console.log('"open" event!'); |
| socket.send('hello world'); |
| }); |
| |
| socket.on('message', function (data, flags) { |
| console.log('"message" event! %j %j', data, flags); |
| socket.close(); |
| }); |
| ``` |
| |
| API |
| --- |
| |
| ### new HttpsProxyAgent(Object options) |
| |
| The `HttpsProxyAgent` class implements an `http.Agent` subclass that connects |
| to the specified "HTTP(s) proxy server" in order to proxy HTTPS and/or WebSocket |
| requests. This is achieved by using the [HTTP `CONNECT` method][CONNECT]. |
| |
| The `options` argument may either be a string URI of the proxy server to use, or an |
| "options" object with more specific properties: |
| |
| * `host` - String - Proxy host to connect to (may use `hostname` as well). Required. |
| * `port` - Number - Proxy port to connect to. Required. |
| * `protocol` - String - If `https:`, then use TLS to connect to the proxy. |
| * `headers` - Object - Additional HTTP headers to be sent on the HTTP CONNECT method. |
| * Any other options given are passed to the `net.connect()`/`tls.connect()` functions. |
