I have read:

I am using the latest version of the library.

Expected Behavior

I'm trying to use a socks5 proxy with this module but I faced error. First off, I'm sure that socks proxy is working correctly and I tested it with curl like below:

curl --proxy "socks5://127.0.0.1:9050" https://github.com

I use the socks proxy in my code like this:

// @ts-ignore
import Agent from 'socks5-http-client/lib/Agent.js';

this.bot = new TelegramBot(token, {
      polling: true,
      request: {
        agentClass: Agent,
        agentOptions: {
          socksHost: '127.0.0.1',
          socksPort: 9050,
        },
      } as any,
    });
    console.log( 'test');
    const result = await this.bot.sendMessage(
      chatID,
      'Sending text through proxy is working correctly.'
    );

And it raises following error:

test
error: [polling_error] {"code":"EFATAL","message":"EFATAL: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_PROTOCOL]: Protocol \"https:\" not supported. Expected \"http:\""}
node:internal/process/promises:289
            triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);
            ^

Node.js v20.6.1

Actual Behavior

The actual behavior is returning normally and seeing the message in the channel with given chatID.

Steps to reproduce the Behavior

Setup a socks proxy and use my code.

[milad2golnia]

I tested http://localhost:9080 with following change:

    this.bot = new TelegramBot(token, {
      polling: true,
      request: {
        proxy: 'http://localhost:9080',
      } as any,
    });

But it gives me the same error so it seems the problem is not related to using socks proxy but using proxy in general.
