Connecting through a proxy is possible by:
Client
or Pool
constructor.The proxy url should be passed to the Client
or Pool
constructor, while the upstream server url
should be added to every request call in the path
.
For instance, if you need to send a request to the /hello
route of your upstream server,
the path
should be path: 'http://upstream.server:port/hello?foo=bar'
.
If you proxy requires basic authentication, you can send it via the proxy-authorization
header.
