http.Agent
implementation for HTTPSThis 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, 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.
https
module exampleimport * as https from 'https';
import { HttpsProxyAgent } from 'https-proxy-agent';
const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent('http://168.63.76.32:3128');
https.get('https://example.com', { agent }, (res) => {
console.log('"response" event!', res.headers);
res.pipe(process.stdout);
});
ws
WebSocket connection exampleimport WebSocket from 'ws';
import { HttpsProxyAgent } from 'https-proxy-agent';
const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent('http://168.63.76.32:3128');
const socket = new WebSocket('ws://echo.websocket.org', { 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();
});
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.
The proxy
argument is the URL for the proxy server.
The options
argument accepts the usual http.Agent
constructor options, and
some additional properties:
headers
- Object containing additional headers to send to the proxy server
in the CONNECT
request.
