I've had good luck so far with creating `http.Agent` subclasses that transparently connect to your desired proxy. This way, it's only 1 option that needs to be added to your HTTP requests. In our app all HTTP requests are wrapped by another module, so that logic was already centralized so it was rather easy to add for all HTTP requests.
I've written a few modules for different proxy scenarios (I know there's others out there too, and mine are still missing some crucial features, like proxy authentication): - HTTP endpoints: https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-http-proxy-agent - HTTPS/WebSocket endpoints: https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-https-proxy-agent - SOCKS proxy (all endpoints): https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-socks-proxy-agent Cheers!
