class SOCKSSocket

Parent:
TCPSocket

SOCKS is an Internet protocol that routes packets between a client and a server through a proxy server. SOCKS5, if supported, additionally provides authentication so only authorized users may access a server.

Public Class Methods

socks_init(VALUE sock, VALUE host, VALUE port)
{
    static int init = 0;

    if (init == 0) {
        SOCKSinit("ruby");
        init = 1;
    }

    return rsock_init_inetsock(sock, host, port, Qnil, Qnil, INET_SOCKS, Qnil);
}

Opens a SOCKS connection to host via the SOCKS server.

The SOCKS server configuration varies by implementation

When using the Dante libsocks/libsocksd implementation it is configured as SOCKS_SERVER env var.

See: manpages.debian.org/testing/dante-client/socksify.1.en.html for full env variable support.
