"node server" bahind a corporate web proxy

[mildsunrise]

Botgram currently doesn't support proxying. But apparently it wouldn't be very difficult to add, using this module. If you want to try it, npm install https-proxy-agent and then do the following modifications in server.js:

-var bot = botgram(config.authToken);
+var bot = botgram(config.authToken, { agent: new (require('https-proxy-agent'))(process.env.https_proxy) });

And the following in lib/wizard.js:

-        var bot = botgram(token);
+        var bot = botgram(token, { agent: new (require('https-proxy-agent'))(process.env.https_proxy) });

It works like a charm!

Thank you so much

Glad it worked :)
I'm reopening the issue, since I'd like to incorporate this into the code someday.

socks5 proxy:

var bot = botgram(config.authToken,
                 {agent: new (require('socks5-https-client/lib/Agent'))(
                   {"socksHost": "proxy_host",
                    "socksUsername": "user",
                    "socksPassword": "password",
                    "socksPort": 1080})
                  });

It'd be ideal if the bot could inherit proxy settings from the https_proxy environment variable.
My code snippet works for http: and https: proxies, but not for SOCKS proxies... I'll try to merge everything when I have time.
