An HTTP Agent for tunneling through SSH

Install

Features

• Simple
• Single ssh client can make multiple requests

Usage

Simple tunnel via 1.2.3.4:

1const sshAgent = require("ssh-http-agent");
2const http = require("http");
3
4http.get(
5  {
6    agent: sshAgent.http({
7      host: "1.2.3.4",
8      port: 22,
9      username: "root",
10      password: "supersecret"
11    }),
12    host: "echo.jpillora.com",
13    path: "/foo/bar"
14  },
15  res => {
16    console.log(res.headers);
17  }
18);

Nested tunnels:

1const sshAgent = require("ssh-http-agent");
2const http = require("http");
3
4http.get(
5  {
6    agent: sshAgent.http([
7      {
8        host: "first.hop.com",
9        username: "root",
10        password: "supersecret"
11      },
12      {
13        host: "second.hop.com",
14        username: "root",
15        password: "supersecret"
16      }
17    ]),
18    host: "third.hop.com",
19    path: "/foo/bar"
20  },
21  res => {
22    console.log(res.headers);
23  }
24);

With request:

1const sshAgent = require("ssh-http-agent");
2const request = require("request");
3
4request.get(
5  "http://echo.jpillora.com/foo/bar",
6  {
7    agent: sshAgent.http({
8      host: "1.2.3.4",
9      username: "root",
10      password: "supersecret"
11    })
12  },
13  (err, res, body) => {
14    console.log(err || body);
15  }
16);

API

Create an agent with:

• sshAgent(httpAgent, sshConfig, opts)
• sshAgent.http(sshConfig, opts)
• sshAgent.https(sshConfig, opts)

Where:

• httpAgent is an instance of http.Agent or https.Agent
• sshConfig is one or many ssh2 client configuration objects(https://github.com/mscdex/ssh2#client-methods)
• opts is an object with:
  • debug is a boolean which enabled debug printing
  • disconnectDelay is a number representing milliseconds to wait before closing idle ssh connections, by default its set to 0ms, so as soon as the last request completes, the parent ssh connection will be closed.

Notes

• Requires Node 8+
