hpts(http-proxy-to-socks) is a nodejs tool to convert SOCKS proxy into http proxy.
Many clients support setting up http proxy to speed up network requests and for sometimes only SOCKS proxy is available to you. SOCKS proxy supports TCP so that it's possible to convert those requests from http proxy into SOCKS protocol. In this way, you can still keep the goodness provided by your SOCKS proxy(e.g. encryption).
npm install -g http-proxy-to-socks
Make sure your nodejs version is greater than 4.
hpts -s 127.0.0.1:1080 -p 8080
This will start a process listening on 8080 as a http proxy. It will convert http requests into socks requests and send them to port 1080. Please make sure your socks service is available at the corresponding port.
