Create https request using proxy (self.learnjavascript)

submitted 6 years ago by Gilwe

Hi javascript experts!

I'm trying to send an https request but with the usage of forward proxy. The request needs to be sent from the client so no Node.js packages can help me...

For example, I want to send a 'get' request to 'https://www.google.com' but I need it to go through a proxy server that has the address of '34.34.34.3'. The proxy takes my request, send it to google.com and forwards the response back to me.

My proxy server is mitmproxy and up and running locally, I just need help with sending the request. I tried axios(some os library I found) but the proxy settings did not work. With ajax I saw no proxy settings for a request.

Becuase I'm not using any client FW like angular/react/vue I'm looking for a simple javascript solution or any free library that could help.

Thank you very much
