The server will connect to the internet via the configured HTTP proxy when the below environment variable is set.

| Variable           | Description                           |
| :----------------- | :------------------------------------ |
| TOOLJET_HTTP_PROXY | Used for both HTTP and HTTPS requests |

## Package Information

We use the [global-agent](https://www.npmjs.com/package/global-agent) package to manage HTTP proxies.

This package allows you to configure global HTTP/HTTPS proxies for your Node.js application. It is particularly useful when you need to route all outgoing HTTP and HTTPS requests through a proxy server. This can be beneficial for scenarios such as bypassing network restrictions, logging, or adding an extra layer of security.

## URL Format

The environment variable format follows the standard host and port notation:

```
http://127.0.0.1:8080
```
