Can a proxy (like fiddler) be used with Node.js’s ClientRequest

I find the following to be nifty. The request module reads proxy information from the windows environment variable.

Typing the following in the windows command prompt, will set it for the lifetime of the shell. You just have to run your node app from this shell.

set https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888 
set http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888
set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
