@joneslloyd/h2alagut v1.0.5

h2Alagút

h2Alagút is a fetch adapter for Node.js that uses HTTP/2 to perform requests and can tunnel through an HTTP/1 proxy via HTTP CONNECT. The name is inspired by the Hungarian word alagút (meaning "tunnel").

Features

• HTTP/2: Utilizes Node's built‑in http2 module.
• Proxy Tunneling: Automatically tunnels through an HTTP/1 proxy (via HTTP CONNECT) when a proxy configuration is provided.
• Fetch-like API: Provides a drop‑in replacement for the standard Fetch API. The returned Response object supports properties such as status and methods like text() and json().

Installation

npm install h2alagut or yarn add h2alagut or pnpm add h2alagut

Usage

import { fetch } from "h2alagut";

const response = await fetch("https://example.com");
console.log(response.statusCode);

Proxy Configuration

const response = await fetch("https://example.com", {
  proxy: {
    host: "your-proxy-server",
    port: 8080,
    auth: "username:password", // Optional
  },
});

Response Object

The Response object returned by h2Alagút supports the following properties and methods:

• statusCode: The HTTP status code.
• text(): Returns the response body as a string.
• json(): Parses the response body as JSON.
• arrayBuffer(): Returns the response body as an ArrayBuffer.

Timeout Handling

You can specify a timeout for the request:

const response = await fetch("https://example.com", {
  timeout: 5000, // Timeout in milliseconds
});

Error Handling

The adapter throws errors for:

• Invalid URLs
• Proxy authentication failures
• Request timeouts
• HTTP/2 negotiation failures

Example

import { fetch } from "h2alagut";

try {
  const response = await fetch("https://example.com", {
    proxy: {
      host: "proxy.example.com",
      port: 8080,
      auth: "user:pass",
    },
    timeout: 3000,
  });

  console.log(response.status);
  console.log(await response.text());
} catch (error) {
  console.error("Request failed:", error.message);
}
