 ```
 
+If you require different agents for different protocols, you can pass a map of agents to the `agent` option. This is necessary because a request to one protocol might redirect to another. In such a scenario, `got` will switch over to the right protocol agent for you.
+
+```js
+const got = require('got');
+const HttpAgent = require('agentkeepalive');
+const HttpsAgent = HttpAgent.HttpsAgent;
+
+got('sindresorhus.com', {
+	agent: {
+		http: new HttpAgent(),
+		https: new HttpsAgent()
+	}
+});
+```
