DESCRIPTION

CONSTRUCTOR

new
 TIMEOUT         - Time Out in seconds.

 CHAIN_LEN       - Length of chain.

 DEBUG           - Debug level ( 0x00 | 0x01 | 0x02 | 0x04 )
                   0x00 - Off
                   0x01 - Debug On
                   0x02 - Write all answers of socks servers.
                   0x04 - Write all requests of socks servers.
                   0x08 - Extended error information.

 CHAIN_FILE      - Configuration file name.

 CHAIN_FILE_DATA - Array reference. ( a format same as well as
                   in a file of a configuration ). It is possible
                   to use for data transmission about chains directly,
                   without use of a file of a configuration. At use
                   of the given parameter, parameter CHAIN_FILE is
                   ignored, that is the file of a configuration
                   is not read.

 LOG_FILE        - Log file name. if undef, writing
                   all errors to STDERR or `syslogd`

 RANDOM_CHAIN    - Rule for create the chains ( 0 || 1 ).
                   0 - create chain by index...
                   1 - create chain by random...

 CHECK_DELAY     - Delay time for the next usage this proxy if
                   the last connection failed ( in seconds )

 AUTO_SAVE       - Auto save the data of chain to the cache file. 

 LOG_FH          - File Descriptor of LOG file.

 SYSLOG          - 1 - Use syslogd ( for *nix ), or eventlog
                   ( for win32 ) for debug messages. Default 0.

 HTTP_CLIENT     - User-Agent name for http proxies

METHODS

connect

Create new connection to remote host.

 Usage:

  die unless $self->connect( $peer_host, $peer_port ) == SOCKS_OKAY;
bind

Binding port.

 Usage:

  die unless $self->bind( $peer_host, $peer_port ) == SOCKS_OKAY;
accept

Accepting connection over SOCKS

 Usage:

  die unless $self->accept() == SOCKS_OKAY;
  $sh = $self->sh;
sh

Returns the sock handle

 Usage:

  $sh = $self->sh;
close

Close the connection.

 Usage:

  $self->close;
configure

Returns [ and modify ] the current configuration options.

 Usage:
  
  # Change TIMEOUT
  $self->configure( TIMEOUT => 10 );

  # Returns TIMEOUT
  $timeout = $self->configure( 'TIMEOUT' );
socks_param

Returns parameters of the last server into the chain socks...

 Usage:

  $listen_addr = $self->socks_param( 'listen_Addr' );

 or:

  $all_param = $self->socks_param();
  $listen_addr = $all_param->{'listen_addr'};

ANY ROUTINES

    socks_error( ERROR_CODE ) 

     Returns the error message.

    Socks error codes:

    SOCKS_GENERAL_SOCKS_SERVER_FAILURE
    SOCKS_CONNECTION_NOT_ALLOWED_BY_RUL
    SOCKS_NETWORK_UNREACHABLE
    SOCKS_HOST_UNREACHABLE
    SOCKS_CONNECTION_REFUSED
    SOCKS_TTL_EXPIRED
    SOCKS_COMMAND_NOT_SUPPORTED
    SOCKS_ADDRESS_TYPE_NOT_SUPPORTED
    SOCKS_OKAY
    SOCKS_FAILED
    SOCKS_NO_IDENT
    SOCKS_USER_MISMATCH
    SOCKS_INCOMPLETE_AUTH
    SOCKS_BAD_AUTH
    SOCKS_SERVER_DENIES_AUTH_METHOD
    SOCKS_MISSING_SOCKS_SERVER_NET_DATA
    SOCKS_MISSING_PEER_NET_DATA
    SOCKS_SOCKS_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE
    SOCKS_TIMEOUT
    SOCKS_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL_VERSION
    SOCKS_UNSUPPORTED_ADDRESS_TYPE
    SOCKS_HOSTNAME_LOOKUP_FAILURE


    $self->read_chain_data();

     Reading the configuration file.

    $self->get_socks_count

     Returns the number of the socks servers

    $self->mark_proxy ( $proxy_id, $status );

     Mark the socks server with index $proxy_id how dead
     if $status not equally SOCKS_OKAY, otherwise
     clearing counter of the connection failure...

    $self->dump_cfg_data();

     Dump socks data, in the cache file.

    $self->restore_cfg_data();

     Restore socks data, from the cache file.

NOTES

accept method change the follow variable, which returns of the socks_param:

 listen_addr
 listen_port

Methods connect, bind, accept returnings SOCKS_OKAY if it succeeded.

Http proxies do not support bind method.

Http proxies support only Basic auth.

CONFIG FORMAT

 #host           :   port    : uid   :   pswd    : socks_proto
 192.168.1.90    :   1080    :       :           :   5
 192.18.122.90   :   3128    : bbb   :  ccc      :   0
 ...

 You can use the comments in the configuration file, for 
 this you must write `#' in the beginning of string...
