How do I configure a Proxy for all Nodes

[colwilson-mo]

I'm behind a proxy and I've had to use 'proxy-agent' near the top of S3.js like this to get it to work:

        var proxy = require('proxy-agent');
        AWS.config.update({
            httpOptions: { agent: proxy('http://webproxy:8080') }
        });

This does work, but I don;t want to have to modify every single node that I want to use.

Is there a way to do this once and globally?

This makes sense, but is not possible at the moment. It will require a change to the config node (to take a JSON configuration string) and all the other nodes.

In the mean time if you're desperate, all the code is dynamically generated, in gen.js make your change around line 200, run the run_build.js, then copy the files back to the parent directory.

To test your node-aws, must i copy the code to /root/.node-red directory ?

it depends on how you install it, if you use 'npm install node-red-contrib-aws' it should install fine. If you cline the repository it will need to be in a node_modules folder under .node-red

Documentation for proxy configuration https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v2/developer-guide/node-configuring-proxies.html

var proxy = require('proxy-agent');

AWS.config.update({
  httpOptions: { agent: proxy('http://internal.proxy.com') }
});
