gem install proxifier
git clone https://github.com/samuelkadolph/ruby-proxifier
cd ruby-proxifier && rake install
This gem was created for 2 purposes.
First is to enable ruby programmers to use HTTP or SOCKS proxies
interchangeably when using TCPSockets. Either manually with
Proxifier::Proxy#open or by require "proxifier/env".
The second purpose is to use ruby code that doesn't user proxies for users that
have to use proxies.
The pruby and pirb executables are simple wrappers for
their respective ruby executables that support proxies from environment
variables.
proxifier provides two executables: pruby and pirb. They are simple
wrappers for your current ruby and irb executables that requires the
"proxifier/env" script which installs hooks into TCPSocket which will use
the proxy environment variables to proxy any TCPSocket.
The environment variables that proxifier will check are (in order of descending precedence):
| Variable Name | Alternatives | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| proxy | PROXY | Requires the proxy scheme to be present. |
| socks_proxy | SOCKS_PROXY socks5_proxy SOCKS5_PROXY |
Implies the SOCKS5 proxy scheme. |
| socks4a_proxy | SOCKS4A_PROXY | Implies the SOCKS4A proxy scheme. |
| socks4_proxy | PROXY | Implies the SOCKS4 proxy scheme. |
| http_proxy | HTTP_PROXY | Implies the HTTP proxy scheme. |
require "proxifier/proxy"
proxy = Proxifier::Proxy("socks://localhost")
socket = proxy.open("www.google.com", 80)
socket << "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.google.com\r\n\r\n"
socket.gets # => "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n"| Protocol | Formats | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| HTTP | http://[username[:password]@]host[:port][?tunnel=false] |
The port defaults to 80. This is currently a limitation that may be solved in the future. Appending ?tunnel=false forces the proxy to not use CONNECT. |
| SOCKS5 | socks://[username[:password]@]host[:port] socks5://[username[:password]@]host[:port] |
Port defaults to 1080. |
| SOCKS4A | socks4a://[username@]host[:port] |
Not yet implemented. |
| SOCKS4 | socks4://[username@]host[:port] |
Currently hangs. Not sure if the problem is with code or server. |
