Connecting to an HTTPS server through a HTTP proxy

[Elio]

Hi,

In our application we need to connect to arbitrary web servers from
Node but our server can only connect to the outside internet through
the corporate proxy. If the target page is on a regular HTTP server we
simply set the path to the full URL and things just work; however if
the target page is under HTTPS and we use the same solution we get
invalid requests errors from the proxy.

I have also tried to change the request_method to "CONNECT" with no
luck.

Is there a way to connect to HTTPS servers through a HTTP proxy in
Nodejs?

Thanks,

Elio.

Hi Elio,

You can use node-tunnel.

https://github.com/koichik/node-tunnel

Current version (v0.0.0) supports only Node v0.7, but next version
will work with v0.6.11 (probably it will be released soon).
