LWP::Protocol::socks.3pm

NAME

LWP::Protocol::socks - adds support for the socks protocol and proxy facility

SYNOPSIS

use LWP::Protocol::socks;

DESCRIPTION

Use this package when you wish to use a socks proxy for your connections.

It provides some essential hooks into the LWP system to implement a socks ``scheme'' similar to http for describing your socks connection, and can be used to proxy either http or https connections.

The use case is to use LWP::UserAgent's proxy method to register your socks proxy like so:

  $ua->proxy([qw(http https)] => 'socks://socks.yahoo.com:1080');
 
 

Then just use your $ua object as usual!

EXAMPLES

  #!/usr/local/bin/perl
  use strict;
  use LWP::UserAgent;
 
  my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent(agent => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.5) Gecko/20060719 Firefox/1.5.0.5');
  $ua->proxy([qw(http https)] => 'socks://socks.yahoo.com:1080');
  my $response = $ua->get("http://www.freebsd.org");
  print $response->code,' ', $response->message,"\n";
  my $response = $ua->get("https://www.microsoft.com");
  print $response->code,' ', $response->message,"\n";
