Proxy Agent Patch

Monkey patches the http and https global-agents to use a configured proxy.

Installation

npm install proxy-agent-patch

Usage

Include this before your code or any packages would use nodes http or https

require('proxy-agent-patch')();

If no options are passed proxy-agent-patch will try to infer the proxy settings for http and https from process.env.http_proxy, process.env.https_proxy or process.env.HTTP_PROXY, process.env.HTTPS_PROXY. process.env.no_proxy and process.env.NO_PROXY are also respected;

You can also pass the settings explicitly:

require('proxy-agent-patch')({
  httpProxy: 'http://proxy.com:8080',
  httpsProxy: 'https://proxy.com:8080',
  noProxy: 'localhost, 127.0.0.0'
});

You can also specify an http-proxy for https-connections.

Testing

You can run the tests with

npm test

Note that at the moment tests try to connect to real urls, when testing the no_proxy-setting. This is far from ideal as it will fail if you are behind a proxy as you probably are when trying out this package. It works on Travis for now and will be fixed eventually.
