Setting a proxy

[ghost]

Hello,

Sorry if I'm duplicating an issue, but I could not find something similar. I need to create a web socket that uses an HTTP proxy. I tweaked the WebSocket.js file directly with no success. Some non-authoritative sources I found said the way to do it was in the requestOptions variable:

var requestOptions = { port: 8080, host: 'OUR_PROXY', headers: { 'Connection': 'Upgrade', 'Upgrade': 'websocket', 'Host': headerHost, 'Sec-WebSocket-Version': options.value.protocolVersion, 'Sec-WebSocket-Key': key } };

We need this because we're behind a corporate proxy we have no control over.
Any advice would be highly appreciated.

@Pimeau You can use the https-proxy-agent package (https://www.npmjs.com/package/https-proxy-agent) to route websocket requests through a proxy. (I just tried and succeeded through my corporate proxy).

Hope this helps.
