Net::Proxy::Connector::connect - Create CONNECT tunnels through HTTP proxies
# 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();
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.
Net::Proxy::Connector::connect accepts the following options:
out
The destination host.
The destination port.
The web proxy name or address.
The web proxy port.
The authentication username for the proxy.
The authentication password for the proxy.
The user-agent string to use when connecting to the proxy.

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

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