proxy in nodejs code

I train myslef with NodeJS and tried a simple GET call. Here is my code:

var http = require(‘http’);

var options = { host: ‘www.boardgamegeek.com’, path: ‘/xmlapi/boardgame/1?stats=1’, method: ‘GET’ }

var request = http.request(options, function (response) { var str = “” response.on(‘data’, function (data) { str += data; }); response.on(‘end’, function () { console.log(str); }); });

request.on(‘error’, function (e) { console.log('Problem with request: ’ + e.message); });

request.end();

When behind a proxy you need to make the following modifications (as explained in this answer):

put the proxy host in the host parameter put the proxy port in the port parameter put the full destination URL in the path parameter : Which gives:

var options = { host: ‘<PROXY_HOST>’, port: ‘<PROXY_PORT>’, path: ‘http://www.boardgamegeek.com/xmlapi/boardgame/1?stats=1’, method: ‘GET’, headers: { Host: ‘www.boardgamegeek.com’ } }
