auto-tunnel

Simple HTTP(S) proxy tunnelling agents.

Installation

Node.js >= 4 is required. To install, type this at the command line:

npm install auto-tunnel

Usage

const http = require('http');
const tunnel = require('auto-tunnel');

http.get({
    agent: tunnel('http://hostname/'),
    host: 'hostname',
    path: '/'
}, function(response) {
    
});

You can override the internal environmental variable (HTTP_PROXY, etc) check with proxyUrl:

tunnel('http://hostname/', {
    proxyUrl: 'http://proxy/'

You can supply headers to the proxy with proxyHeaders:

tunnel('http://hostname/', {

    }
})
