Setting proxy server for connections in Knox

Question

I am using LearnBoost/knox to connect to Amazon S3 but my machine is using a proxy server. I have set an environment variable http_proxy and https_proxy but Knox is not using that. How do you get Knox to communicate through a proxy server.

Answer 1

A pull request for proxy support has been added to Knox about 8 months ago but it hasn't made it in the latest release yet (the pull request was closed).

If you get that code, you can use:

var client = knox.createClient({
    key: '<api-key-here>'
  , secret: '<secret-here>'
  , bucket: 'learnboost'
  , proxy: 'your-proxy'
});
