We want to use toxy behind a corporate proxy for resilience testing of our client for a REST service provided by another institution. We can only access the service through the proxy server of our institute. I could not find any configuration options to achieve that. Have I overlooked something?

I tried to use global-agent it fails because the http-proxy dependency used by toxy always creates a new instance of the agent for every request and misses the parameters required by global-agent (because it is and likely cannot be aware of it). Before I raise an issue for http-proxy, I wanted to make sure that I am not overlooking a mechanism of toxy to be run behind a corporate proxy.

Just as a remark the issue with http-proxy is that it does not pass the agent option correctly to the http client API of nodejs. It converts null to false which has a different semantic. Therefore, the following two configuration lines for toxy are passed as false to http.request by http-proxy.

proxy.opts['agent'] = null;
proxy.opts['agent'] = false;
