NAME

Net::Proxy::Connector::connect - Create CONNECT tunnels through HTTP proxies

SYNOPSIS

     # sample proxy using Net::Proxy::Connector::tcp
     #                and Net::Proxy::Connector::connect
     use Net::Proxy;
 
     # listen on localhost:6789
     # and proxy to remotehost:9876 through proxy.company.com:8080
     # using the given credentials
     my $proxy = Net::Proxy->new(
         in  => { type => 'tcp', port => '6789' },
         out => {
             type        => 'connect',
             host        => 'remotehost',
             port        => '9876',
             proxy_host  => 'proxy.company.com',
             proxy_port  => '8080',
             proxy_user  => 'jrandom',
             proxy_pass  => 's3kr3t',
             proxy_agent => 'Mozilla/4.04 (X11; I; SunOS 5.4 sun4m)',
         },
     );
     $proxy->register();
 
     Net::Proxy->mainloop();

DESCRIPTION

"Net::Proxy::Connecter::connect" is a "Net::Proxy::Connector" that uses the HTTP CONNECT method to ask the proxy to create a tunnel to an outside server.

Be aware that some proxies are set up to deny the creation of some outside tunnels (either to ports other than 443 or outside a specified set of outside hosts).

This connector is only an ``out'' connector.

CONNECTOR OPTIONS

"Net::Proxy::Connector::connect" accepts the following options:

out

•
host

The destination host.

•
port

The destination port.

•
proxy_host

The web proxy name or address.

•
proxy_port

The web proxy port.

•
proxy_user

The authentication username for the proxy.

•
proxy_pass

The authentication password for the proxy.

•
proxy_agent

The user-agent string to use when connecting to the proxy.

BUGS

All the authentication schemes supported by "LWP::UserAgent" should be supported (we use an "LWP::UserAgent" internally to contact the proxy).

This means we should also support NTLM, since it is supported as from "libwww-perl" 5.66. "Net::Proxy::Connector::connect" has not been actually tested with NTLM, though. Any report of success or failure with a NTLM proxy will be appreciated.

HISTORY

This module is based on my script "connect-tunnel", that provided a command-line interface to create tunnels though HTTP proxies. It was first published on CPAN on March 2003.

A better version of "connect-tunnel" (using "Net::Proxy") is provided this distribution.
