Proxy Support about node-quickbase

[tflanagan]

Hey 3IMOH,

The error you're getting looks to be related to the internal indexing of the query requests.

Could you copy your code in here so I may get a better understanding, and if possible, a way to replicate what you're doing.

Thanks,

[3IWOH]

Hi-
My code is just the example.js. I replaced the following:

Realm
apptoken
Username
Password
Dbid

Maybe I could just add you as a user to my test quickbase?

Thanks for your help!

Hey 3IMOH,

I just found a small bug in the code relating to line 264, I'm going to push a fix to github and publish it on npm.

The bug I found is actually related to reporting an error to you, so I imagine once this is fixed, you will see the correct error to your true, underlying problem.

An npm update will apply the latest fixed.

Thanks for the quick turnaround. I am now getting this (outputting err from the auth call)

{ code: 1003,
text: 'Error in Request',
details: 'connect ETIMEDOUT' }

Hey 3IMOH,

This is related to your proxy; I will add proxy support later today, too busy to do it now.

(unless you want to, I'm more than willing to accept a pr)

[3IWOH]

Thanks Tristan!
Looking forward to using your module.

Thanks for providing this.

Hi Tristian-

I tried to add proxy support but hit a dead end. I was having issues accessing secure sites thru a non-secure proxy. I think that there needs to be a CONNECT when doing this which the existing http/https modules do not do (I believe). Anyway, did you have any luck implementing this?

Thanks,
Howie

I was running into the same issue and found the same thing about the http/s modules.

I haven't had time to really dive into it (work has been busy), but I found that you can use the request module to use the CONNECT method.

Using the request method, however, makes SSL a little more tricky

I'm going to leave this open in case anyone wants to discuss proxy support, but at this time I am not going to add this myself.

I am more than willing to accept an appropriate pr.

ps: look at v3, targets the new json based api with proxy support
