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"
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.

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.
