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.

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:

Protocol Proxy Agent for http requests Proxy Agent for https requests Example
http http-proxy-agent https-proxy-agent http://proxy-server-over-tcp.com:3128
https http-proxy-agent https-proxy-agent https://proxy-server-over-tls.com:3129
socks(v5) socks-proxy-agent socks-proxy-agent socks://username:password@some-socks-proxy.com:9050 (username & password are optional)
socks5 socks-proxy-agent socks-proxy-agent socks5://username:password@some-socks-proxy.com:9050 (username & password are optional)
socks4 socks-proxy-agent socks-proxy-agent socks4://some-socks-proxy.com:9050
pac pac-proxy-agent pac-proxy-agent pac+http://www.example.com/proxy.pac

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!
  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.
