How can I set options in the fetch method of react-native to make a call to a webserver go through a proxy.

Currently I am using axios but this doesn't work.

After adding a host header to the fetch, I can make a request through charles-proxy but it doesn't work with squid. (Error: invalid url).

    What are you trying to accomplish? Debugging, anonymizing requests? Have you been able to trace the requests by switching your app to debug mode (with Chrome dev tools)? – Benjamin Toueg Jun 13 '17 at 16:52

    I think we need more detail. What are you trying to accomplish? How are you using charles? How are you using squid? – klvs Jun 16 '17 at 07:12

    Sorry, away from the office for a little longer due to non-related issues, can't actually test it untill next week, meanwhile i'll get in touch with the rest of the developers team to see if they managed to get something. Thanks in advance – Sérgio Reis Jun 16 '17 at 12:52

Inside your package.json file that exists in your react project you can create a proxy like the following:

 "proxy": "http://localhost:5000"

You can solve this by installing local-cors-proxy globally and run it by

npm install -g local-cors-proxy

Start Proxy:

lcp --proxyUrl https://www.yourdomain.ie

Then in your client code, new API endpoint:

http://localhost:8010/proxy/movies/list

Package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/local-cors-proxy
