var client = rest.wrap(restHttpsProxy, {
    url: "http://127.0.0.1:3128" // you can also use tcp://127.0.0.1:3128
})

client('https://nodejs.org/en/').then(function(response) {
    // response will contain the html of https://nodejs.org/en/
    // and the HTTPS request/response will be proxied through http://127.0.0.1:3128
});

How is it possible to proxy HTTPS?

You can proxy HTTPS requests through a proxy by using a so called HTTP CONNECT Tunnel. You can read more about it here:
