proxy about superagent HOT 8 CLOSED

hmmm ... sorry to comment on an old issue, but I have a question, no offense, can't we just respect the environment variable http_proxy but can only rely on another package? Thanks.

I'm very surprised that my gist was founded in this issue thread. This patch is for the man who was in trouble to use tower.js inside his proxy. As described in the gist, it needs node-tunnel module for SSL proxy.
Please free to use or modify this as you like.

A second thought about this : it would be easier to have a superagent-proxy module that declares "tunnel" as a dependency, instead of having superagent depend on it directly.

Checkout superagent-proxy

AFAIK node's own http request handling doesn't automagically pick the proxy, and superagent behaving differently could surprising, so an explicit superagent-proxy call seems like an OK solution to me.
