SOCKS5 proxies

[xamgore]

Is it possible to exploit got.js with socks5 (4, 4a) proxies?

In request one could pass a custom http.Agent like socks5-http-client, that redefines createConnection method to return a socks5 socket (which is a stream.Duplex). A similar technique is used with https-client.

With http2 there is a similar method createConnection, but I can't see a direct connection between it and got.js.

You can pass a custom agent to Got too. It's in the docs.

Got it working with http(s).

  import { SocksProxyAgent } from 'socks-proxy-agent'

  await got.get('https://example.com', {
    http2: false,
    agent: {
      http: new SocksProxyAgent('socks://127.0.0.1:8080'),
      https: new SocksProxyAgent('socks://127.0.0.1:8080'),
      // http2: new SocksProxyAgent('socks://127.0.0.1:8080'),
    }
  })
