Very verbose example on how to connect qsocks to a server.

qsocks.node.connect.js

var qsocks = require('qsocks');
var fs = require('fs');
var request = require('request');

//Set our request defaults, ignore unauthorized cert warnings as default QS certs are self-signed.
var r = request.defaults({
	rejectUnauthorized: false,
	host: 'usrad-akl.qliktech.com',
	pfx: fs.readFileSync("C:\\QlikTech\\Demo Team\\Node\\qsocks\\client.pfx")
})

//Authenticate whatever user you want
var b = JSON.stringify({
	"UserDirectory": 'qtsel',
	"UserId": 'akl',
	"Attributes": []
});

//Get ticket for user
r.post({
	uri: 'https://usrad-akl.qliktech.com:4243/qps/ticket?xrfkey=abcdefghijklmnop',
	body: b,
	headers: {
		'x-qlik-xrfkey': 'abcdefghijklmnop',
		'content-type': 'application/json'
	}
},
function(err, res, body) {

	//Consume ticket, set cookie response in our upgrade header against the proxy.
	var ticket = JSON.parse(body)['Ticket'];
	r.get('https://usrad-akl.qliktech.com/hub/?qlikTicket=' + ticket, function(error, response, body) {

		var cookies = response.headers['set-cookie'];

		//qsocks config, merges into standard https/http object headers.
		//Set the session cookie correctly.
		var config = {
			host: 'usrad-akl.qliktech.com/app/',
			isSecure: true,
			origin: 'http://localhost',
			rejectUnauthorized: false,
			headers: {
				"Content-Type": "application/json",
				"Cookie": cookies[0]
			}
		}

		//Connect to qsocks/qix engine
		qsocks.Connect(config).then(function(global) {
			//Get our global handle
			global.createApp('This is a new app', 'First Script Tab').then(function(success) {
				console.log(success)
			});

		})

	})

})
