Net::Proxy::Connector::ssl - SSL Net::Proxy connector

       Philippe 'BooK' Bruhat, "<book@cpan.org>".

       The connector accept the following options:

   "in"
       host
           The listening address. If not given, the default is "localhost".

       port
           The listening port.

       start_cleartext
           If  true,  the  connection  will start in cleartext.  It is possible to upgrade a socket to using SSL
           with the upgrade_SSL() method.

   "out"
       host
           The listening address. If not given, the default is "localhost".

       port
           The listening port.

       start_cleartext
           If true, the connection will start in cleartext.  It is possible to upgrade a  socket  to  using  SSL
           with the upgrade_SSL() method.

       I  tend  to forget this information, and the openssl documentation doesn't make this any clearer, so here
       are the most basic commands needed to create your own self-signed certificate (courtesy David Morel):

           $ openssl genrsa -out key.pem 1024
           $ openssl req -new -key key.pem -x509 -out cert.pem -days 365

       A certificate is required is you want to run a SSL server or a proxy with a  "Net::Proxy::Connector::ssl"
       as its "in" connector.

       Once  the  key  and  certificate  have  been  created,  you  can  use  them  in  your  parameter  list to
       "Net::Proxy->new()" (they are passed through to "IO::Socket::SSL"):

           Net::Proxy->new(
               {
                   in => {
                       host          => '0.0.0.0',
                       port          => 443,
                       SSL_key_file  => 'key.pem',
                       SSL_cert_file => 'cert.pem',
                   },
                   out => { type => 'tcp', port => '80' }
               }
           );

       "Net::Proxy::Connecter::ssl" is a "Net::Proxy::Connector" that can manage SSL connections (thanks to
       "IO::Socket::SSL").

       By default, this connector creates SSL sockets. You will need to subclass it to create "smarter"
       connectors than can upgrade their connections to SSL.

       In addition to the options listed below, this connector accepts all "SSL_..." options to
       "IO::Socket::SSL". They are transparently passed through to the appropriate "IO::Socket::SSL" methods
       when needed.

       The Net::Proxy::Connector::ssl connector has an extra method:

   upgrade_SSL
           $connector->upgrade_SSL( $sock )

       This method will upgrade a cleartext socket to SSL.  If the socket is already in SSL, it will carp().
