Once you have understood the right agent for your use case, you can instance it. It takes the same parameter of the Node.js core's http(s) agent and an additional proxy
option, which is the url of your proxy.
const http = const HttpProxyAgent = const agent = keepAlive: true keepAliveMsecs: 1000 maxSockets: 256 maxFreeSockets: 256 proxy: 'http://localhost:8080' http
If your proxy requires basic authentication, you can configure it in the proxy url:
const http = const HttpProxyAgent = const agent = keepAlive: true keepAliveMsecs: 1000 maxSockets: 256 maxFreeSockets: 256 proxy: 'http://user:pwd@localhost:8080' http
