A Net::Proxy object represents a proxy that accepts connections and then
|
||
|
|
relays the data transfered between the source and the destination.
|
||
|
|
The goal of this module is to abstract the different methods used to
|
||
|
|
connect from the proxy to the destination.
|
||
|
|
A proxy is a program that transfer data across a network boundary
|
||
|
|
between a client and a server. Net::Proxy introduces the concept of
|
||
|
|
"connectors" (implemented as Net::Proxy::Connector subclasses), which
|
||
|
|
abstract the server part (connected to the client) and the client part
|
||
|
|
(connected to the server) of the proxy.
|
||
|
|
This architecture makes it easy to implement specific techniques to
|
||
|
|
cross a given network boundary, possibly by using a proxy on one side of
|
||
|
|
the network fence, and a reverse-proxy on the other side of the fence.
