[QUESTION] Using chproxy with clickhouse-client with NodeJS

[asif-git-hub]

Which feature your question relates to?
Using chproxy in a NodeJS application to run queries

Question details
I am looking for examples on using chproxy in my nodeJS application.

I am having trouble trying to query our clickhouse table via chproxy from a nodeJS (TS) server-side application:
This is how I form the client which passes the health check when I call .ping()

  client = createClient({
    url: getEnvVar("DB_URL"),
    pathname: "play",
    username: getEnvVar("DB_USERNAME"),
    password: getEnvVar("DB_PASSWORD"),
  }) 

When I try to query a table I always keep getting this error:
select * from DATABASE.TABLE LIMIT 2;

Error: There is no handle /play?query_id=c152ca33-ac4d-4288-810e-2577b45c9bfc

Use / or /ping for health checks.
Or /replicas_status for more sophisticated health checks.

Additional context/motivations
"@clickhouse/client": "^1.8.1",
The clickhouse version we are running is 24.3.5

unfortunately, on the maintainer side, we're only using chproxy with scala, java and golang clients, which works well.
I don't understand what the pathname is supposed to be, did you try without it (leave it blank)?
Also, did you try directly using clickhouse, if yes, is it working?

@asif-git-hub why do you use /play endpoint?
It's not how CH http should be used.
