Module: Gio::Proxy
- Defined in:
- (unknown)
Overview
A #GProxy handles connecting to a remote host via a given type of proxy server. It is implemented by the ‘gio-proxy’ extension point. The extensions are named after their proxy protocol name. As an example, a SOCKS5 proxy implementation can be retrieved with the name ‘socks5’ using the function g_io_extension_point_get_extension_by_name().
Instance Method Summary collapse
-
#connect(connection, proxy_address, cancellable) ⇒ Gio::IOStream
Given connection to communicate with a proxy (eg, a GSocket::Connection that is connected to the proxy server), this does the necessary handshake to connect to proxy_address, and if required, wraps the #GIOStream to handle proxy payload.
-
#connect_async(connection, proxy_address, cancellable, callback, user_data) ⇒ nil
Asynchronous version of g_proxy_connect().
-
#connect_finish(result) ⇒ Gio::IOStream
See g_proxy_connect().
-
#supports_hostname ⇒ TrueClass
Some proxy protocols expect to be passed a hostname, which they will resolve to an IP address themselves.

#connect_finish(result) ⇒ Gio::IOStream
See g_proxy_connect().
#supports_hostname ⇒ TrueClass
Some proxy protocols expect to be passed a hostname, which they will resolve to an IP address themselves. Others, like SOCKS4, do not allow this. This function will return false if proxy is implementing such a protocol. When false is returned, the caller should resolve the destination hostname first, and then pass a GProxy::Address containing the stringified IP address to g_proxy_connect() or g_proxy_connect_async().
