agent-base

Turn a function into an `http.Agent` instance

This module provides an http.Agent generator. That is, you pass it an async callback function, and it returns a new http.Agent instance that will invoke the given callback function when sending outbound HTTP requests.

Some subclasses:

Here's some more interesting uses of agent-base. Send a pull request to list yours!

http-proxy-agent: An HTTP(s) proxy http.Agent implementation for HTTP endpoints
https-proxy-agent: An HTTP(s) proxy http.Agent implementation for HTTPS endpoints
pac-proxy-agent: A PAC file proxy http.Agent implementation for HTTP and HTTPS
socks-proxy-agent: A SOCKS proxy http.Agent implementation for HTTP and HTTPS

Installation

Install with npm:

$ npm install agent-base

Example

Here's a minimal example that creates a new net.Socket connection to the server for every HTTP request (i.e. the equivalent of agent: false option):

var net = require('net');
var tls = require('tls');
var url = require('url');
var http = require('http');
var agent = require('agent-base');

var endpoint = 'http://nodejs.org/api/';
var parsed = url.parse(endpoint);

// This is the important part!
parsed.agent = agent(function (req, opts) {
  var socket;
  // `secureEndpoint` is true when using the https module
  if (opts.secureEndpoint) {
    socket = tls.connect(opts);
  } else {
    socket = net.connect(opts);
  }
  return socket;
});

// Everything else works just like normal...
http.get(parsed, function (res) {
  console.log('"response" event!', res.headers);
  res.pipe(process.stdout);
});

Returning a Promise or using an async function is also supported:

agent(async function (req, opts) {
  await sleep(1000);
  // etc…
});

Return another http.Agent instance to "pass through" the responsibility for that HTTP request to that agent:

agent(function (req, opts) {
  return opts.secureEndpoint ? https.globalAgent : http.globalAgent;
});

API

Agent(Function callback[, Object options]) → http.Agent

Creates a base http.Agent that will execute the callback function callback for every HTTP request that it is used as the agent for. The callback function is responsible for creating a stream.Duplex instance of some kind that will be used as the underlying socket in the HTTP request.

The options object accepts the following properties:

timeout - Number - Timeout for the callback() function in milliseconds. Defaults to Infinity (optional).

The callback function should have the following signature:

callback(http.ClientRequest req, Object options, Function cb) → undefined

The ClientRequest req can be accessed to read request headers and and the path, etc. The options object contains the options passed to the http.request()/https.request() function call, and is formatted to be directly passed to net.connect()/tls.connect(), or however else you want a Socket to be created. Pass the created socket to the callback function cb once created, and the HTTP request will continue to proceed.

If the https module is used to invoke the HTTP request, then the secureEndpoint property on options will be set to true.
