Add support for redirection to corporate proxy

Hello,

I’m working behind a corporate proxy, and I can’t seem to make redirection work through it.

Here is my config:

{
  context: '/api',
  options: {
    pathRewrite: { '^/api' : '' },
    target: 'http://api.stuff.com',
    changeOrigin: true,
    toProxy: 'http://x.x.x.x:8080/'
  }

Maybe it’s a misuse of the toProxy option, but I can’t find a good example usage.

In another hand, it would be nice to make use of the standard http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables to make this work automatically without having to fiddle through the config (most node modules use these to work through corporate proxies).

Thanks for your help

Spent half the day fighting with my corporate proxy, until I found this. Thank you! Works perfectly.

Glad to hear this thread helped you out.

I’ve added a corporate proxy configuration example to the recipes: https://github.com/chimurai/http-proxy-middleware/blob/master/recipes/corporate-proxy.md
