Net::SSH & Proxies

ruby-talk

Patches are always welcome. :slight_smile:

I haven't really thought about adding proxy support, mostly because the arcane
workings of proxies haven't been revealed to me yet. :slight_smile: If someone can point me
to a website that describes how a proxy works, and how to tunnel SSH over an
HTTP(S) proxy (or if you just want to explain it to me), that'd be great.

If you know enough about proxies to write the feature yourself, a patch is
always the fastest way to get a new feature added to Net::SSH.

(Feel free to join the net-ssh-devel mailing list--hosted by RubyForge--if you
want to participate in development-related discussion pertaining to Net::SSH.)

P.S. I'm currently on vacation so I'm not actively working on Net::SSH until
after next Tuesday...but I am checking my email regularly.

I'd also love to see Net::SSH working through a HTTPS-Proxy!

regards,
Jochen

Hi,

I currently posted a little patch on the net-ssh-devel mailing list that
enables Net::SSH to work with proxys. If anyone's interested -- have a look
there.

kind regards,
Jochen.
