Description

I am trying to get ProxyMan to intercept requests from a NodeJS application running in a terminal.

If I write a simple Node application, to make a request, and then use either ProxyMan's automated or manual methods to set up the proxy, and then run the node app, I find that the request shows in Proxyman, but instead of an HTTPS URL, I see an HTTP URL.

So, for example, https://google.com would appear as http://google.com

For sites that redirect from http to https, I see a redirect loop.

Steps to Reproduce

I have written a simple nodejs application to test out the proxy. The code is:

import axios from 'axios'; const response = await axios.get("https://google.com"); console.log(response);

If I run this in the ProxyMan automatic setup terminal, the response looks like it's gone to the http version of the site and not the https version.

If I open a fresh terminal, without automatic setup, I do not see the request in ProxyMan, but the node app does then return the https version of the site, as expected.

Environment

Node 19.6.0
Proxyman 4.7.0
macOS Ventura 13.3.1

It's odd. Only axios makes HTTP instead of HTTPS.

I tries with fetch or got, it works fine.

Here is the fetch and got sample code:

    const res = await fetch("https://httpbin.org/get?lib=fetch");
    console.log(res);

    const { default: got } = await import("got");
    await got("https://httpbin.org/get?lib=got");

I'm working on the fix now 👍

@tomkerswill let's try this beta build: https://download.proxyman.io/beta/Proxyman_4.7.0_Fix_automatic_setup_with_axios_lib.dmg

The HTTPS request from axios has been fixed 👍

The problem is:

Axios uses a non-standard to make a Proxy HTTPS Connection to Proxyman (Likely a bug from global-agent).
Standard: CONNECT httpbin.org:443 HTTP/1.1
axios: GET https://httpbin.org/get HTTP/1.1 -> HTTPS

I've double checked with other tool, like Charles Proxy, and it's correct 👍
