HTTPS Proxy Support for ServiceNow DevOps GitHub Actions

 

Summary

Adds HTTPS proxy support enabling customers behind corporate proxies to route all HTTP/HTTPS traffic through their proxy server using the https-proxy-agent npm package.
 

Changes

  • Introduced createHttpClient() using HttpsProxyAgent to tunnel all axios requests via HTTP CONNECT
  • Supported environment variables (checked in order): HTTPS_PROXY, https_proxy, HTTP_PROXY, http_proxy
  • Supported proxy URL formats: http://<host>:<port> and http://<user>:<pass>@<host>:<port>
  • Added .github/workflows/proxy-test.yml example workflow with HTTPS_PROXY_URL as a configurable secret
  • Updated README.md with HTTPS Proxy Support documentation
  • Action runtime updated to node24
     

How it works

When a proxy environment variable is set, the action creates an HttpsProxyAgent and attaches it to the axios HTTP client. All requests to ServiceNow are tunneled via HTTP CONNECT. If no proxy variable is set, the action connects directly — no breaking changes.
 

Testing

  • Verified proxy tunneling using an in-workflow Squid proxy service container
  • Confirmed HTTP CONNECT entries in proxy access logs for ServiceNow API calls
  • Validated end-to-end action execution through the proxy

feat: add https-proxy-agent for CONNECT tunnel support through corpor…

…ate proxies

Axios built-in proxy handling uses absolute-form HTTP requests which
enterprise proxies (e.g. Visa) reject with 400 Bad Request. This adds
https-proxy-agent to force proper CONNECT tunneling when HTTPS_PROXY
or HTTP_PROXY environment variables are set.

Changes:
- Added https-proxy-agent 7.0.6 dependency
- Created proxy-aware Axios instance via createHttpClient()
- Replaced bare axios calls with httpClient for CONNECT tunnel support
- Zero behavior change when no proxy env vars are set
- Rebuilt dist/index.js bundle
