If no proxy is set, an empty string is11returned.12 13It is your responsibility to actually proxy the request using the given URL.14 15Installation:16 17```sh18npm install proxy-from-env19```20 21## Example22This example shows how the data for a URL can be fetched via the23[`http` module](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html), in a proxy-aware way.24 25```javascript26var http = require('http');27var parseUrl = require('url').parse;28var getProxyForUrl = require('proxy-from-env').getProxyForUrl;29 30var some_url = 'http://example.com/something';31 32// // Example, if there is a proxy server at 10.0.0.1:1234, then setting the33// // http_proxy environment variable causes the request to go through a proxy.34// process.env.http_proxy = 'http://10.0.0.1:1234';35// 36// // But if the host to be proxied is listed in NO_PROXY, then the request is37// // not proxied (but a direct request is made).38// process.env.no_proxy = 'example.com';39 40var proxy_url = getProxyForUrl(some_url); // <-- Our magic.41if (proxy_url) {42 // Should be proxied through proxy_url.43 var parsed_some_url = parseUrl(some_url);44 var parsed_proxy_url = parseUrl(proxy_url);45 // A HTTP proxy is quite simple. It is similar to a normal request, except the46 // path is an absolute URL, and the proxied URL's host is put in the header47 // instead of the server's actual host.48 httpOptions = {49 protocol: parsed_proxy_url.protocol,50 hostname: parsed_proxy_url.hostname,51 port: parsed_proxy_url.port,52 path: parsed_some_url.href,53 headers: {54 Host: parsed_some_url.host, // = host name + optional port.55 },56 };57} else {58 // Direct request.59 httpOptions = some_url;60}61http.get(httpOptions, function(res) {62 var responses = [];63 res.on('data', function(chunk) { responses.push(chunk); });64 res.on('end', function() { console.log(responses.join('')); });65});66 67```68 69## Environment variables70The environment variables can be specified in lowercase or uppercase, with the71lowercase name having precedence over the uppercase variant. A variable that is72not set has the same meaning as a variable that is set but has no value.73 74### NO\_PROXY75 76`NO_PROXY` is a list of host names (optionally with a port). If the input URL77matches any of the entries in `NO_PROXY`, then the input URL should be fetched78by a direct request (i.e. without a proxy).79 80Matching follows the following rules:81 82- `NO_PROXY=*` disables all proxies.83- Space and commas may be used to separate the entries in the `NO_PROXY` list.84- If `NO_PROXY` does not contain any entries, then proxies are never disabled.85- If a port is added after the host name, then the ports must match. If the URL86 does not have an explicit port name, the protocol's default port is used.87- Generally, the proxy is only disabled if the host name is an exact match for88 an entry in the `NO_PROXY` list. The only exceptions are entries that start89 with a dot or with a wildcard; then the proxy is disabled if the host name90 ends with the entry.91 92See `test.js` for examples of what should match and what does not.93 94### \*\_PROXY95 96The environment variable used for the proxy depends on the protocol of the URL.97For example, `https://example.com` uses the "https" protocol, and therefore the98proxy to be used is `HTTPS_PROXY` (_NOT_ `HTTP_PROXY`, which is _only_ used for99http:-URLs).100 101The library is not limited to http(s), other schemes such as102`FTP_PROXY` (ftp:),103`WSS_PROXY` (wss:),104`WS_PROXY` (ws:)105are also supported.106 107If present, `ALL_PROXY` is used as fallback if there is no other match.108 109 110## External resources111The exact way of parsing the environment variables is not codified in any112standard. This library is designed to be compatible with formats as expected by113existing software.114The following resources were used to determine the desired behavior:115 116- cURL:117 https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html#ENVIRONMENT 118 https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/4af40b3646d3b09f68e419f7ca866ff395d1f897/lib/url.c#L4446-L4514 119 https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/4af40b3646d3b09f68e419f7ca866ff395d1f897/lib/url.c#L4608-L4638 120 121- wget: 122 https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Proxies 123 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/wget.git/tree/src/init.c?id=636a5f9a1c508aa39e35a3a8e9e54520a284d93d#n383 124 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/wget.git/tree/src/retr.c?id=93c1517c4071c4288ba5a4b038e7634e4c6b5482#n1278 125 126- W3:127 https://www.w3.org/Daemon/User/Proxies/ProxyClients.html 128 129- Python's urllib:130 https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/936135bb97fe04223aa30ca6e98eac8f3ed6b349/Lib/urllib/request.py#L755-L782 131 https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/936135bb97fe04223aa30ca6e98eac8f3ed6b349/Lib/urllib/request.py#L2444-L2479132
