Overview

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.

Options

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

"out"

`host`	The destination host.
`port`	The destination port.
`proxy_host`	The web proxy name or address.
`proxy_port`	The web proxy port.
`proxy_user`	The authentication username for the proxy.
`proxy_pass`	The authentication password for the proxy.
`proxy_agent`	The user-agent string to use when connecting to the proxy.
