| ================ | |
| ### An HTTP(s) proxy `http.Agent` implementation for HTTPS | |
| 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. | |
| Examples | |
| -------- | |
| #### `https` module example | |
| ```ts | |
| import * 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 example | |
| ```ts | |
| import 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(); | |
| }); | |
| ``` | |
| API | |
| --- | |
| ### new HttpsProxyAgent(proxy: string | URL, options?: HttpsProxyAgentOptions) | |
| 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 `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. | |
