HTTPS Proxy Agent
JSON →https-proxy-agent is an `http.Agent` implementation specifically designed for making HTTPS requests through an HTTP or HTTPS proxy server. It leverages the HTTP `CONNECT` method to establish a TCP tunnel through the proxy to the target destination. This enables secure communication over proxied networks and is also compatible with protocols like WebSockets that utilize the `CONNECT` method for proxy tunneling. The current stable version is 9.0.0, released as part of the `proxy-agents` monorepo, which implies a release cadence tied to updates across the proxy agent family. A key differentiator is its direct focus on the `CONNECT` method for HTTPS and WebSocket tunneling, providing a robust solution for environments requiring explicit proxy configuration. It requires Node.js version 20 or higher.
