Configure 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.

To find a third-party HTTP agent, search for "HTTP proxy" at npm.

To install a third-party HTTP agent proxy, enter the following at the command prompt, where PROXY is the name of the npm package.

npm install PROXY --save

To use a proxy in your application, use the httpAgent and httpsAgent property, as shown in the following example for a DynamoDB client.

import { DynamoDBClient } from '@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb';
import { NodeHttpHandler } from "@smithy/node-http-handler";
import { HttpsProxyAgent } from "hpagent";
const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent({ proxy: "http://internal.proxy.com" });
const dynamodbClient = new DynamoDBClient({
    requestHandler: new NodeHttpHandler({
        httpAgent: agent,
        httpsAgent: agent
    }),
});
