When calling an HTTP resource redirecting to a HTTPS one with a keepAlive agent. We get the following error:

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_PROTOCOL]: Protocol "https:" not supported. Expected "http:"
    at new ClientRequest (_http_client.js:119:11)
    at Object.request (https.js:281:10)
    at RedirectableRequest._performRequest (/Users/jthomassey/projects/ecom-shop-web/node_modules/follow-redirects/index.js:169:24)

This can be tested here :

const http = require('http');
const https = require('https');
const axios = require('axios');

axios.get('http://www.photobox.fr', { httpAgent: http.Agent({ keepAlive:true }), httpsAgent: https.Agent({ keepAlive:true }) })
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response);
    console.log(response.headers);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.log(error);
  });

Axios delegate the redirection to the follow-redirect package which accept an option agents for both http and https agent see : https://github.com/follow-redirects/follow-redirects#per-request-options

@JitixPhotobox i see in the follow-redirects documentation that the object should be:

agents: {
  https: Agent,
  http: Agent
}

Or am I missing something?
