Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

better-http-proxy-agent

An agent for HTTP through an HTTP(S) proxy server.

This is based on http-proxy-agent but instead of building on a custom base class it extends the NodeJS http.Agent or https.Agent to leverage core functionality such as connection pooling (all connections are to the proxy so there is just one bucket in the pool) and TLS session resumption.

Basic usage

npm install better-http-proxy-agent
const { createAgent } = require('better-http-proxy-agent');
const fs = require('fs');
const http = require('http');

/*
 * Options suitable for the base `http(s).Agent`.
 */
const agentOptions = {
    keepAlive: true,
    timeout: 55000, // for keepAlive
    maxSockets: 100,
    maxFreeSockets: 10,
    maxCachedSessions: 200
};

/*
 * Options suitable for `http(s).request`/`net.connect`/`tls.connect`. These
 * are used to connect to the proxy server.
 *
 * You should provide the `host` and `port` of the proxy here (unless you want
 * the default `localhost`).
 *
 * `protocol` will default to `http:`. If you need to connect to the proxy over
 * HTTPS, set `protocol` to `https:`. `http.Agent` or `https.Agent` will be
 * used accordingly.
 *
 * You can provide `auth` here, which will produce a `Proxy-Authorization`
 * header.
 */
const connectionOptions = {
    protocol: "https:",
    host: "proxy.example.com",
    port: 3128,
    timeout: 5000, // for in-flight requests
    cert: fs.readFileSync("proxy_auth_cert.pem"),
    key: fs.readFileSync("proxy_auth_key.pem"),
    passphrase: "secret"
};

const agent = createAgent(agentOptions, connectionOptions);

http.get("http://www.example.com/", {
    agent
});
