Can a proxy (like fiddler) be used with Node.js's ClientRequest

rated 0 times [ 19] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 28882 / 13 Years ago, mon, january 2, 2012, 12:00:00

Can node.js be setup to recognize a proxy (like Fiddler for example) and route all ClientRequest's through the proxy?

I am using node on Windows and would like to debug the http requests much like I would using Fiddler for JavaScript in the browser.

Just be clear, I am not trying to create a proxy nor proxy requests received by a server. I want to route requests made by http.request() through a proxy. I would like to use Fiddler to inspect both the request and the response as I would if I was performing the request in a browser.

To route your client-requests via fiddler, alter your options-object like this (ex.: just before you create the http.request):

options.path = 'http://' + options.host + ':' + options.port + options.path;

options.headers.host = options.host;

options.host = '127.0.0.1';

options.port = 8888;



myReq = http.request(options, function (result) {

    ...

});
