Class Net::SSH::Proxy::SOCKS4

  1. lib/net/ssh/proxy/socks4.rb
Parent: Object

An implementation of a SOCKS4 proxy. To use it, instantiate it, then pass the instantiated object via the :proxy key to Net::SSH.start:

require 'net/ssh/proxy/socks4'

proxy = Net::SSH::Proxy::SOCKS4.new('proxy.host', proxy_port, :user => 'user')
Net::SSH.start('host', 'user', :proxy => proxy) do |ssh|
  ...
end

Methods

public class

  1. new

public instance

  1. open

Constants

VERSION = 4   The SOCKS protocol version used by this class
CONNECT = 1   The packet type for connection requests
GRANTED = 90   The status code for a successful connection

Attributes

options [R] The additional options that were given to the proxy’s constructor.
proxy_host [R] The proxy’s host name or IP address, as given to the constructor.
proxy_port [R] The proxy’s port number.

Public class methods

new (proxy_host, proxy_port=1080, options={})

Create a new proxy connection to the given proxy host and port. Optionally, a :user key may be given to identify the username with which to authenticate.

Public instance methods

open (host, port)

Return a new socket connected to the given host and port via the proxy that was requested when the socket factory was instantiated.
