Source

proxy-agent

NOTE: This is not made by me.

This is just a fork to fix a problem with socks5 proxies.

If you want the original module, get it from here: https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-proxy-agent

===========

Maps proxy protocols to http.Agent implementations

Build Status

This module provides a function that returns proxying http.Agent instances to use based off of a given proxy URI. If no URI is provided, then proxy-from-env is used to get the URI from $HTTP_PROXY, $HTTPS_PROXY and $NO_PROXY among others.

An LRU cache is used so that http.Agent instances are transparently re-used for subsequent HTTP requests to the same proxy server.

The currently implemented protocol mappings are listed in the table below:

ProtocolProxy Agent for http requestsProxy Agent for https requestsExample

Installation

Install with npm:

$ npm install proxy-agent

Example

var http = require('http');
var ProxyAgent = require('proxy-agent');

// HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS proxy to use
var proxyUri = process.env.http_proxy || 'http://168.63.43.102:3128';

var opts = {
  method: 'GET',
  host: 'jsonip.org',
  path: '/',
  // this is the important part!
  // If no proxyUri is specified, then https://www.npmjs.com/package/proxy-from-env
  // is used to get the proxyUri.
  agent: new ProxyAgent(proxyUri)
};

// the rest works just like any other normal HTTP request
http.get(opts, onresponse);

function onresponse (res) {
  console.log(res.statusCode, res.headers);
  res.pipe(process.stdout);
}

API

new ProxyAgent(Object|String opts|uri)

Returns an http.Agent instance based off of the given proxy opts or URI string. An LRU cache is used, so the same http.Agent instance will be returned if identical args are passed in.
