Re: Is there any way to connect two sockets together?

Why don't you just use SSH for that?

ssh localhost -f -S -L $localport:$proxy:$proxyport
[download]

and it does exactly what your script is trying to do. But I'm still confused if that is what you want to do, as I see little use for it.

Cheers,

Update: The -S option of SSH makes sure it doesn't try to connect, only functions as portmapper. Moreover, I forgot the supply 'localhost', and the -f option is handy as well.

Because my script is a cut down of the big picture. In the big picture it tunnels over a http proxy. It opens up a socket connection with a remote internet host via the proxy (using the connect method) this is a trival negotiation1. It then connects the data recieved from that connection to a local port. I can then connect applications to the local port and so to the outside world. 1 CONNECT host:port HTTP1/0 <NL> or some such. -- Zigster	[reply]

Aha. Than use the SSH solution I gave you should work. It just tunnels a local connection to $localport to $proxy:$proxyport. You simply let your client connect to $localport and it wouldn't know the difference. Hope this helps, Jeroen I was dreaming of guitarnotes that would irritate an executive kind of guy (FZ)	[reply]

That will not work, OK without going too far down this road what will you connect the ssh proxy port too? The proxy? It is a web proxy why not connect directly to that.. The point is that the proxy talks http I need to setup the conduit before I can use it ssh does not know how to do it.. Damn this would be easier if I had paper, does that make more sense? -- Zigster	[reply]
