Bigdata supports a proxy setup on the client’s side. By setting a proxy you can redirect output traffic and work with it before it leaves your network. This is useful for debugging, security, and privacy reasons.

Set up

The recommended approach uses the standard environment variables: HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and WSS_PROXY.

However, the Bigdata object also supports a proxy parameter. Please choose only one of the two approaches.

Example with environment variables:

export HTTPS_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:3128"
export WSS_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:3128"

Environment variable ALL_PROXY is not supported.

In the case of proxies with credentials use the following format:

HTTPS_PROXY="http://user:pass@127.0.0.1:3128"
