Usage

    # sample proxy using Net::Proxy::Connector::tcp
    #                and Net::Proxy::Connector::connect_ssl
    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_ssl',
            host        => 'remotehost',
            port        => '9876',
            proxy_host  => 'proxy.company.com',

Overview

Net::Proxy::Connecter::connect_ssl is a Net::Proxy::Connector that uses the HTTP CONNECT method to ask the proxy to create a tunnel to an outside server. The data is then encrypted using SSL.

Obviously, you'll need a server that understands SSL (or a proxy using Net::Proxy::Connector::ssl) at the other end.

This connector is only an "out" connector.

In addition to the options listed below, this connector accepts all "SSL_..." options to IO::Socket::SSL. They are transparently passed through to the appropriate IO::Socket::SSL methods when upgrading the socket to SSL.

Options

Net::Proxy::Connector::connect_ssl accepts the following options:

"out"

Methods

The Net::Proxy::Connector::connect_ssl connector has an extra method, obtained from Net::Proxy::Connector::ssl:
