How to use a proxy (like Squid) without using HTTP CONNECT (I want Squid to cache results)

[joergd]

I have the following code:

const got = require("got");
const { HttpProxyAgent } = require("hpagent");

let stream = await got.stream("http://www.google.com", {
  agent: {
    http: new HttpProxyAgent({
      keepAlive: false,
      proxy: "http://localhost:3128",
    }),
  },
});

I can see in my Squid logs that it receives the request - and it serves the page fine etc. However, I want Squid to cache the result, but Squid (my proxy) is being called using HTTP CONNECT, which means that I have no way of caching the results on Squid.

Essentially Got is tunneling the request to Squid using the HttpProxyAgent.

How can I set it up, so that the request is not tunnelled - I just want to connect to the proxy in a normal way (not using CONNECT).
