NAME¶
Net::SOCKS - a SOCKS client class
SYNOPSIS¶
Establishing a connection:
my $sock = new Net::SOCKS(socks_addr => '192.168.1.3',
socks_port => 1080,
user_id => 'the_user',
user_password => 'the_password',
force_nonanonymous => 1,
protocol_version => 5);
# connect to finger port and request finger information for some_user
my $f= $sock->connect(peer_addr => '192.168.1.3', peer_port => 79);
print $f "some_user\n"; # example writing to socket
while (<$f>) { print } # example reading from socket
$sock->close();
Accepting an incoming connection:
my $sock = new Net::SOCKS(socks_addr => '192.168.1.3',
socks_port => 1080,
user_id => 'the_user',
user_password => 'the_password',
force_nonanonymous => 1,
protocol_version => 5);
my ($ip, $ip_dot_dec, $port) = $sock->bind(peer_addr => "128.10.10.11",
peer_port => 9999);
$f= $sock->accept();
print $f "Hi! Type something.\n"; # example writing to socket
while (<$f>) { print } # example reading from socket
$sock->close();
DESCRIPTION¶
my $sock = new Net::SOCKS(socks_addr => '192.168.1.3',
socks_port => 1080,
user_id => 'the_user',
user_password => 'the_password',
force_nonanonymous => 1,
protocol_version => 5);
To connect to a SOCKS server, specify the SOCKS server's
hostname, port number, SOCKS protocol version, username, and
password. Username and password are optional if you plan
to use a SOCKS server that doesn't require any authentication.
If you would like to force the connection to be
nonanoymous, set the force_nonanonymous parameter.
my $f= $sock->connect(peer_addr => '192.168.1.3', peer_port => 79);
To connect to another machine using SOCKS, use the connect method.
Specify the host and port number as parameters.
my ($ip, $ip_dot_dec, $port) = $sock->bind(peer_addr => "192.168.1.3",
peer_port => 9999);
If you wanted to accept a connection with SOCKS, specify the host
and port of the machine you expect a connection from. Upon
success, bind() returns the ip address and port number that
the SOCKS server is listening at on your behalf.
$f= $sock->accept();
If a call to bind() returns a success status code SOCKS_OKAY,
a call to the accept() method will return when the peer host
connects to the host/port that was returned by the bind() method.
Upon success, accept() returns SOCKS_OKAY.
$sock->close();
Closes the connection.
