NAME

       Net::Proxy::Connector::connect_ssl - Create SSL/CONNECT tunnels through HTTP proxies

SYNOPSIS

	   # 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',
		   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_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.

CONNECTOR OPTIONS

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

"out"
       o   host

	   The destination host.

       o   port

	   The destination port.

       o   proxy_host

	   The web proxy name or address.

       o   proxy_port

	   The web proxy port.

       o   proxy_user

	   The authentication username for the proxy.

       o   proxy_pass

	   The authentication password for the proxy.

       o   proxy_agent

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

HISTORY

       Because "Net::Proxy" blocks when it tries to connect to itself, it wasn't possible to pass an SSL-encrypted connection through a proxy with
       a single script: you needed one for the SSL encapsulation, and another one for bypassing the proxy with the "CONNECT" HTTP method.

       See "Net::Proxy::Connector::connect" and "Net::Proxy::Connector::ssl" for details.
