Possiblity to specify a different http agent

[tommuhm]

First off, i wanted to thank you for this project. The code looks really good and is nice to read :)

I just have a small feature request: I would like to specify my own http agent e.g.: https://github.com/TBEDP/agentkeepalive.

I tested the agent above with another btce module and it nearly doubled my request speed.

This feature would also add the possibility to use proxies with a proxy-agent like: https://github.com/koichik/node-tunnel

Thanks & Best Regards Tom

I am pleased to report that this has finally been resolved with the release of version 0.0.16.

The third parameter to the constructor can now be a hash of options in addition to a nonce generation function.

The supported options are:

• agent - An HTTPS agent to use for the requests.
• timeout - A timeout to use for the requests, defaults to 5 seconds.
• nonce - A nonce generation function (same as what can be provided instead of an options hash).
• tapi_url - The base url to use when making trade api requests, defaults to https://btc-e.com/tapi.
• public_url - The base url to use when making public api requests, defaults to https://btc-e.com/api/2/.

An example of this new functionality:

var BTCE = require('btc-e');
var HttpsAgent = require('agentkeepalive').HttpsAgent;
var btce = new BTCE('apiKey', 'secret', {
  agent: new HttpsAgent()
});

btce.getInfo(function (err, data) {
  console.log(err, data);
});
