SOCKS5 HTTPS Client

SOCKS v5 HTTPS client implementation in JavaScript for Node.js.

var shttps = require('socks5-https-client');

shttps.get({
	hostname: 'encrypted.google.com',
	path: '/',
	rejectUnauthorized: true // This is the default.
}, function(res) {
	res.setEncoding('utf8');
	res.on('readable', function() {
		console.log(res.read()); // Log response to console.
	});
});

Specify the socksHost and socksPort options if your SOCKS server isn't running on localhost:1080. Tor runs its SOCKS server on port 9050 by default, for example.

Username and password authentication is supported with the socksUsername and socksPassword options.

You may also pass a URL as the first argument to get or request, which will be parsed using url.parse.

Using with Tor

Works great for making HTTPS requests through Tor.

Make sure a Tor server is running locally and run node example/tor https://check.torproject.org/ to test.

Using with Request

To use with Request, just pass a reference to the Agent constructor..

var Agent = require('socks5-https-client/lib/Agent');

request({
	url: 'https://encrypted.google.com/',
	strictSSL: true,
	agentClass: Agent,
	agentOptions: {
		socksHost: 'my-tor-proxy-host', // Defaults to 'localhost'.
		socksPort: 9050 // Defaults to 1080.
	}
}, function(err, res) {
	console.log(err || res.body);
});

HTTP

This client only provides support for making HTTPS requests. See socks5-http-client for an HTTP implementation.
