  Description     : An HTTP(s) proxy http.Agent implementation for HTTPS

This module provides an http.Agent implementation that connects to a
specified HTTP or HTTPS proxy server, and can be used with the built-in
'https' module.

Specifically, this 'Agent' implementation connects to an intermediary
"proxy" server and issues the CONNECT, which tells the proxy to open a
direct TCP connection to the destination server.

Since this agent implements the CONNECT HTTP method, it also works with
other protocols that use this method when connecting over proxies (i.e.
WebSockets).

node-https-proxy-agent is a dependency of node-puppeteer.
