Can you explain your use case further?

I want to keep alive http connections to remove TCP overheads and increase performance
In nodejs HTTP(s) agent has a keepAlive option, your proxy agent has not

https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_new_agent_options

keepAlive Keep sockets around even when there are no outstanding requests, so they can be used for future requests without having to reestablish a TCP connection. Not to be confused with the keep-alive value of the Connection header. The Connection: keep-alive header is always sent when using an agent except when the Connection header is explicitly specified or when the keepAlive and maxSockets options are respectively set to false and Infinity, in which case Connection: close will be used. Default: false

@MarcoScabbiolo reply please

Currently the options used to create an Agent are hand picked from the supported options to initialize, so there is no way to do it.

See

global-tunnel/index.js

Line 240 in 8839300

var opts = {

I'm thinking the best way to go would be to add an agent property to the initialize options that includes all of the Node Agent options.
