To differentiate, the options parameter in the `connect()` +function includes a `secureEndpoint` property, which can be checked +to determine what type of socket should be returned. + +#### Some subclasses: + +Here are some more interesting uses of `agent-base`. +Send a pull request to list yours! + + * [`http-proxy-agent`][http-proxy-agent]: An HTTP(s) proxy `http.Agent` implementation for HTTP endpoints + * [`https-proxy-agent`][https-proxy-agent]: An HTTP(s) proxy `http.Agent` implementation for HTTPS endpoints + * [`pac-proxy-agent`][pac-proxy-agent]: A PAC file proxy `http.Agent` implementation for HTTP and HTTPS + * [`socks-proxy-agent`][socks-proxy-agent]: A SOCKS proxy `http.Agent` implementation for HTTP and HTTPS + +Example +------- + +Here's a minimal example that creates a new `net.Socket` or `tls.Socket` +based on the `secureEndpoint` property.
