Axios proxy is not working.

[pumanitro]

Describe the bug
I have installed anyProxy 3rd party proxy ( http://anyproxy.io/en/#install )
When I type anyproxy in my command line then my proxy starts on http://localhost:8001
and I have also preview of proxy status on http://localhost:8002.

On the Frontend site, I'm using axios like:

axios
      .get("https://randomuser.me/api/?results=50", {
        proxy: {
          host: "http://localhost",
          port: 8001
        }
      })
      .then(response => {
        const data = response.data.results;
        this.setState({ data });
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.log(error);
      });

Here is a simplified version of this:
https://codesandbox.io/s/j35zl05lk5

But the request is omitting proxy and is sent directly:

It behaves like the axios proxying functionality would not be even working.

I also tried stuff like:

let httpsProxyAgent = require("https-proxy-agent");
var agent = new httpsProxyAgent("http://localhost:8001");
...
 axios
      .get("https://randomuser.me/api/?results=50", {
        httpAgent: agent
      })
      .then(response => {
        const data = response.data.results;
        this.setState({ data });
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.log(error);
      });

But it gives me the same result as the previous one.
Also tried npm dependency called "axios-https-proxy-fix", but with the same result.

Expected behavior
Proxying request to the proxy server.

Environment:

• Axios Version "axios": "0.18.0",
• OS: Win 10
• Browser Chrime
• Browser Version 73.0.3683.86

I can confirm. Full post on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55981040/axios-https-request-over-a-proxy

I tried the proxy param, which is apparently not supported in browser, but at least I tried :

const axios = require('axios');

var res = await axios.get('https://api.ipify.org?format=json', {
    proxy: {
        host: 'proxy-url',
        port: 80,
        auth: {username: 'my-user', password: 'my-password'}
    }
});
console.log(res.data); // gives my ip and not the proxy's one

And also with the httpsAgent param :

const axios = require('axios');
const HttpsProxyAgent = require('https-proxy-agent')

var agent = new HttpsProxyAgent('http://my-user:my-pass@proxy-url:port');
var res = await axios.get('https://api.ipify.org?format=json', {
    httpsAgent: agent,
});
console.log(res.data); // gives my ip and not the proxy's one

None of them work.

+1 not working in version .19

i did 3 things that got it working.

1. updated node to v11+
2. added --tls-min-v1.0 flag like this node --tls-min-v1.0 index.js
3. updated axios to .19

first 2 didn't help without the last one.

Thank you for that ! Next time i'll work on proxies i'll take a look.

I have been struggling for an entire day trying to make this work, that was in april, but I finally switched to another library.
Proxies work very well with node-fetch combined with https-proxy-agent.

Axios default.proxy settings don't work on Chrome.
Any workaround for this?

Axios (v.19) is not working with our corporate proxy for https requests. We use a squid proxy and it returns a protocol error in our case.

You can reproduce the error in node (with a public squid proxy) using latest Axios and an Axios version using 'https-proxy-agent':

run:
npm install axios axios-https-proxy-fix

create file 'index.js' with content:

const axiosDefaultConfig = {
    baseURL: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts',
    proxy: {
        host: '142.93.165.82',
        port: 8080,
        protocol: 'http'
    }
};

const axios = require ('axios').create(axiosDefaultConfig);
axios.get('42')
    .then(function (response) {
        console.log('Response with axios was ok: ' + response.status);
    })
    .catch(function (error) {
        console.log(error);
    });

const axiosFixed = require ('axios-https-proxy-fix').create(axiosDefaultConfig);
axiosFixed.get('42')
    .then(function (response) {
        console.log('Response with axios-https-proxy-fix was ok: ' + response.status);
    })
    .catch(function (error) {
        console.log(error);
    });

run
node index.js

Then you can see in console log that Axios fails with a protocol error while the modified Axios version using https-proxy-agent succeeds.
