Class: Net::SSH::Proxy::HTTP

Class | Net::SSH::Proxy::HTTP
In: | lib/net/ssh/proxy/http.rb
Parent: | Object

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

      require 'net/ssh/proxy/http'

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

If the proxy requires authentication, you can pass :user and :password to the proxy‘s constructor:

      proxy = Net::SSH::Proxy::HTTP.new('proxy.host', proxy_port,
         :user => "user", :password => "password")

Note that HTTP digest authentication is not supported; Basic only at this point.

- :user => the user name to use when authenticating to the proxy
