Creating an HTTP proxy agent

This code sample demonstrates how to create an HTTP proxy agent with the http-proxy-agent package and use it to make a GET request to a target server through a proxy.

const HttpProxyAgent = require('http-proxy-agent');
const agent = new HttpProxyAgent('http://proxy-server.com:8080');
const http = require('http');

const requestOptions = {
  host: 'target-server.com',
  port: 80,
  path: '/',
  agent: agent
};

http.get(requestOptions, (res) => {
  console.log(`Got response: ${res.statusCode}`);
  // consume response body
  res.resume();
}).on('error', (e) => {
  console.error(`Got error: ${e.message}`);
});

Creating an HTTPS proxy agent

This code sample shows how to create an HTTPS proxy agent with the http-proxy-agent package to make a GET request to a secure target server through a proxy.

const HttpsProxyAgent = require('http-proxy-agent');
const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent('https://proxy-server.com:8080');
const https = require('https');

const requestOptions = {
  host: 'secure-target-server.com',
  port: 443,
  path: '/',
  agent: agent
};

https.get(requestOptions, (res) => {
  console.log(`Got response: ${res.statusCode}`);
  // consume response body
  res.resume();
}).on('error', (e) => {
  console.error(`Got error: ${e.message}`);
});
