How do I add proxy in NodeJs for outbound calls

Question

I have a function app deployed on Azure.

My requirement is to call another API internal to the organization.

But all the traffic has to be routed through a proxy server setup on prem. How do I tell my NodeJs code, to make the outbound request using a proxy server.

I did set the http and https proxy in node runtime using npm set commands, that seems to have no effect.

I am seeing host not found errors. To both the proxy server and the actual api.

Here is the code to add proxy for Azure functions

var http = require("http");

var options = {
  host: "proxy",
  port: 8080,
  path: "http://www.google.com",
  headers: {
    Host: "www.google.com"
  }
};
http.get(options, function(res) {
  console.log(res);
  res.pipe(process.stdout);
});
