Configuring Proxies for Node.js

If you can't directly connect to the internet, the SDK for JavaScript supports use of HTTP or HTTPS proxies through a third-party HTTP agent, such as proxy-agent. To install proxy-agent, type the following at the command line.

npm install proxy-agent --save

If you decide to use a different proxy, first follow the installation and configuration instructions for that proxy. To use this or another third-party proxy in your application, you must set the httpOptions property of AWS.Config to specify the proxy you choose. This example shows proxy-agent.

var AWS = require("aws-sdk");
var ProxyAgent = require('proxy-agent').ProxyAgent;
AWS.config.update({
  httpOptions: { agent: new ProxyAgent('http://internal.proxy.com') }
});

For more information about other proxy libraries, see npm, the Node.js package manager.
