socks-proxy-agent
A SOCKS proxy http.Agent
implementation for HTTP and HTTPS
This module provides an http.Agent
implementation that connects to a
specified SOCKS proxy server, and can be used with the built-in http
or https
modules.
It can also be used in conjunction with the ws
module to establish a WebSocket
connection over a SOCKS proxy. See the "Examples" section below.
Installation
Install with npm
:
$ npm install socks-proxy-agent
Examples
http
module example
var url = require('url');
var http = require('http');
var SocksProxyAgent = require('socks-proxy-agent');
var proxy = process.env.socks_proxy || 'socks://127.0.0.1:9050';
console.log('using proxy server %j', proxy);
var endpoint = process.argv[2] || 'http://nodejs.org/api/';
console.log('attempting to GET %j', endpoint);
var opts = url.parse(endpoint);
var agent = new SocksProxyAgent(proxy);
opts.agent = agent;
http.get(opts, function (res) {
console.log('"response" event!', res.headers);
res.pipe(process.stdout);
});
https
module example
var url = require('url');
var https = require('https');
var SocksProxyAgent = require('socks-proxy-agent');
var proxy = process.env.socks_proxy || 'socks://127.0.0.1:9050';
console.log('using proxy server %j', proxy);
var endpoint = process.argv[2] || 'https://encrypted.google.com/';
console.log('attempting to GET %j', endpoint);
var opts = url.parse(endpoint);
var agent = new SocksProxyAgent(proxy, true);
opts.agent = agent;
https.get(opts, function (res) {
console.log('"response" event!', res.headers);
res.pipe(process.stdout);
});
ws
WebSocket connection example
var WebSocket = require('ws');
var SocksProxyAgent = require('socks-proxy-agent');
var proxy = process.env.socks_proxy || 'socks://127.0.0.1:9050';
console.log('using proxy server %j', proxy);
var endpoint = process.argv[2] || 'ws://echo.websocket.org';
console.log('attempting to connect to WebSocket %j', endpoint);
var agent = new SocksProxyAgent(proxy);
var socket = new WebSocket(endpoint, { agent: 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();
});
