proxy-agent
Maps proxy protocols to http.Agent
implementations
This module provides an http.Agent
implementation which automatically uses
proxy servers based off of the various proxy-related environment variables
(HTTP_PROXY
, HTTPS_PROXY
and NO_PROXY
among others).
Which proxy is used for each HTTP request is determined by the
proxy-from-env
module, so
check its documentation for instructions on configuring your environment variables.
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:
Example
import * as https from 'https';
import { ProxyAgent } from 'proxy-agent';
const agent = new ProxyAgent();
https.get('https://jsonip.com', { agent }, (res) => {
console.log(res.statusCode, res.headers);
res.pipe(process.stdout);
});
API
new ProxyAgent(options?: ProxyAgentOptions)
Creates an http.Agent
instance which relies on the various proxy-related
environment variables. An LRU cache is used, so the same http.Agent
instance
will be returned if identical args are passed in.
