NAME

       Net::SOCKS - a SOCKS client class

SYNOPSIS

	Establishing a connection:

	my $sock = new Net::SOCKS(socks_addr => '192.168.1.3',
		       socks_port => 1080,
		       user_id => 'the_user',
		       user_password => 'the_password',
		       force_nonanonymous => 1,
		       protocol_version => 5);

	# connect to finger port and request finger information for some_user
	my $f= $sock->connect(peer_addr => '192.168.1.3', peer_port => 79);
	print $f "some_user
";    # example writing to socket
	while (<$f>) { print }	   # example reading from socket
	$sock->close();

	Accepting an incoming connection:

	my $sock = new Net::SOCKS(socks_addr => '192.168.1.3',
		       socks_port => 1080,
		       user_id => 'the_user',
		       user_password => 'the_password',
		       force_nonanonymous => 1,
		       protocol_version => 5);

	my ($ip, $ip_dot_dec, $port) = $sock->bind(peer_addr => "128.10.10.11",
			       peer_port => 9999);

	$f= $sock->accept();
	print $f "Hi!  Type something.
";    # example writing to socket
	while (<$f>) { print }		      # example reading from socket
	$sock->close();

DESCRIPTION

	my $sock = new Net::SOCKS(socks_addr => '192.168.1.3',
		       socks_port => 1080,
		       user_id => 'the_user',
		       user_password => 'the_password',
		       force_nonanonymous => 1,
		       protocol_version => 5);

	 To connect to a SOCKS server, specify the SOCKS server's
	 hostname, port number, SOCKS protocol version, username, and
	 password.  Username and password are optional if you plan
	 to use a SOCKS server that doesn't require any authentication.
	 If you would like to force the connection to be
	 nonanoymous, set the force_nonanonymous parameter.

	my $f= $sock->connect(peer_addr => '192.168.1.3', peer_port => 79);

	To connect to another machine using SOCKS, use the connect method.
	Specify the host and port number as parameters.

	my ($ip, $ip_dot_dec, $port) = $sock->bind(peer_addr => "192.168.1.3",
			       peer_port => 9999);

	 If you wanted to accept a connection with SOCKS, specify the host
	 and port of the machine you expect a connection from.	Upon
	 success, bind() returns the ip address and port number that
	 the SOCKS server is listening at on your behalf.

	$f= $sock->accept();

	 If a call to bind() returns a success status code SOCKS_OKAY,
	 a call to the accept() method will return when the peer host
	 connects to the host/port that was returned by the bind() method.
	 Upon success, accept() returns SOCKS_OKAY.

	$sock->close();

	 Closes the connection.
