Proxy authentication (username, password) about proxy-agents

[TooTallNate]

Do one of these:

In the URI

var proxy = new HttpsProxyAgent('https://username:[email protected]');

Set the auth option

var proxyOpts = url.parse('https://your-proxy.com');
proxyOpts.auth = 'username:password';
var proxy = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxyOpts);

Set the HTTP header manually

var proxyOpts = url.parse('https://your-proxy.com');
proxyOpts.headers = {
  'Proxy-Authentication': 'Basic ' + new Buffer('username:password').toString('base64')
};
var proxy = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxyOpts);

proxyOpts.headers = {

};
var proxy = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxyOpts);

The header is called Proxy-Authorization not Proxy-Authentication.

Hi, in my company and using HttpsProxyAgent library, only the first one is working properly, aka, URI, the 2 others failed to authenticate.

thanks !

👍 worth mentioning, assumed the options listed would be exhaustive, so had to come digging here to confirm auth works.

How to make it that it could use a txt file.

It would be nice to have this information in the readme. It would be easier to search for password on package's readme page and repo's readme page. The same is already true for socks-proxy-agent package.

I am getting an openssl error, but not sure if it is due to my proxy service provider, smartproxy:
