#http-proxy

Chainable HTTP proxy with tunneling support

##Usage

###Launch proxy servers programmatically

var HttpProxy = require("http-proxy");

httpProxy = new HttpProxy({
  auth: "user:password", //Authorization credentials. Defaults to undefined (no authorization required)
  proxy: "http://some.other.proxy:8181", //Other proxy to chain to
  maxSockets: 100 //http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_agent_maxsockets
  requestTimeout: 60000 //number of milliseconds to wait before aborting the request
  localAddress: "192.168.1.62" //http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback
  followRedirect: true //follow HTTP 3xx responses as redirects. Defaults to false (do not follow)
});

httpProxy.listen(8080, function () {
  //Listening...
  console.log(httpProxy.server.address().port); //8080
});

###Launch proxy servers from the command line

~/http-proxy$ node app.js [options]

The options are:

• --auth Authorization credentials. Defaults to undefined (no authorization required).
  
• --proxy Other proxy to chain to.
  
• --maxSockets Override Node.js' HTTPAgent maxSockets. Defaults to Node.js' default value (5)
  
• --localAddress Local interface to bind for network connections.
  
• --followRedirect Follow HTTP 3xx responses as redirects.
  
• --port Port to listen to. By default a random port will be assigned.
  
• --cluster If present, the proxy server will be clustered according to the number of available CPU cores.

~/http-proxy$ npm install
~/http-proxy$ npm test
