NetworkingError: Protocol "https:" not supported. Expected "http:"

[nathanjd]

I am trying to mock the responses from the AWS API as suggested by AWS support.

However I am finding this to be impossible due to the following error:

NetworkingError: Protocol "https:" not supported. Expected "http:"

This error was marked fixed on March 25th, 2015. Perhaps it has resurfaced? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong?
#46

Here is my file under test:

"use strict";

const aws = require("aws-sdk");

// Environment Configuration
const tableName = process.env.TRACE_TABLE_NAME;

const dynamo = new aws.DynamoDB.DocumentClient();

/**
 * Retrieves a trace by id, its primary key.
 *
 * @param {string} id - The requested trace's id.
 * @returns {Promise.<Object>} - A promise that is fulfilled with the requested
 *     trace's object literal. Rejects to an Error if one is encountered that
 *     prevents item retrieval.
 */
module.exports = exports = function getTrace(id) {
    const params = {
        TableName: tableName,
        Key: {
            id: id
        }
    };

    console.log(`[Retrieve] Attempting retrieval of trace from table: "${tableName}" with id: "${id}"`);

    return dynamo.get(params).promise()
        .then(data => data.Item);
};

And here is the test itself:

const path = require("path");
const proxy = require("proxy-agent");

Replay.mode = "record";
Replay.fixtures = path.resolve(__dirname, "..", "mocks", "aws");

// Mock Environment Configuration
process.env.TRACE_TABLE_NAME = "device-trace-service-develop-TracesTable-ODDXB1CT7ERX";
process.env.AWS_DEFAULT_REGION = "us-west-2";
aws.config.update({
    region: "us-west-2",
    httpOptions: {
        agent: proxy("http://webproxy.nordstrom.net:8181"),

        // Timeout after 5 minutes
        timeout: 300000
    }
});

const getTrace = require("./get-trace");

const expect = chai.expect;
chai.use(chaiAsPromised);

describe("getTrace(id)", () => {
    it("should do things", () => {
        return expect(getTrace("2c513185-92fc-4986-abaf-a6cd0b331fd6"))

            });
    });
});

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
