Advanced tools
HTTP proxy tunneling agent. Formerly part of mikeal/request, now a standalone module.
The tunnel-agent npm package is used to implement HTTP/HTTPS tunneling. It allows you to proxy requests through a tunneling agent, which can be useful when you need to work with proxies or bypass network restrictions.
HTTP Tunneling
This code sample demonstrates how to create an HTTP tunneling agent to proxy requests through a local proxy server running on port 8080.
const tunnel = require('tunnel-agent');
const https = require('https');
let tunnelingAgent = tunnel.httpOverHttp({
proxy: {
host: 'localhost',
port: 8080
}
});
const options = {
host: 'example.com',
port: 80,
agent: tunnelingAgent
};
https.get(options, (res) => {
console.log('Response:', res.statusCode);
});
HTTPS Tunneling
This code sample demonstrates how to create an HTTPS tunneling agent to proxy HTTPS requests through a local HTTPS proxy server running on port 8080.
const tunnel = require('tunnel-agent');
const https = require('https');
let tunnelingAgent = tunnel.httpsOverHttps({
proxy: {
host: 'localhost',
port: 8080
}
});
const options = {
host: 'example.com',
port: 443,
agent: tunnelingAgent
};
https.get(options, (res) => {
console.log('Response:', res.statusCode);
});
