Proxy authentication (username, password)

[agarioBotDev]

Hello,

Is the proxy authentication implemented ? Cannot find it, e.g.a proxy requires username and password else status 407 will be returned...

I would be appreciated for any help,
David

Do one of these:

In the URI

var proxy = new HttpsProxyAgent('https://username:password@your-proxy.com');

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);

Hi, there.
It would be nice to see that at readme page)

Yes please, add this to the readme/docs

@TooTallNate :)

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

Bump :) Would be great on the readme

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.

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);

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.

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