Class methods¶

The base class provides the following methods:

new()

Instance methods¶

set_proxy( $proxy )

Define the proxy that "owns" the connector.

get_proxy()

Return the "Net::Proxy" object that "owns" the connector.

is_in()

Return a boolean value indicating if the "Net::Proxy::Connector" object is the "in" connector of its proxy.

is_out()

Return a boolean value indicating if the "Net::Proxy::Connector" object is the "out" connector of its proxy.

new_connection_on( $socket )

This method is called by "Net::Proxy" to handle incoming connections, and in turn call "accept_from()" on the 'in' connector and "connect()" on the 'out' connector.

raw_read_from( $socket )

This method can be used by "Net::Proxy::Connector" subclasses in their "read_from()" methods, to fetch raw data on a socket.

raw_write_to( $socket, $data )

This method can be used by "Net::Proxy::Connector" subclasses in their "write_to()" methods, to send raw data on a socket.

raw_listen( )

This method can be used by "Net::Proxy::Connector" subclasses in their "listen()" methods, to create a listening socket on their "host" and "port" parameters.

raw_accept_from( $socket )

This method can be used internaly by "Net::Proxy::Connector" subclasses in their "accept_from()" methods, to accept a newly connected socket.

Initialisation¶

init()

This method initalise the connector.

Processing incoming/outgoing data¶

read_from( $socket )

Return the data that was possibly decapsulated by the connector.

write_to( $socket, $data )

Write $data to the given $socket, according to the connector scheme.

"in" connector¶

listen()

Initiate listening sockets and return them.

This method can use the "raw_listen()" method to do the low-level listen call.

accept_from( $socket )

$socket is a listening socket created by "listen()". This method returns the connected socket.

This method can use the "raw_accept_from()" method to do the low-level accept call.

"out" connector¶

connect()

Return a socket connected to the remote server.
