Subject: Redirecting socket connections in LWP::UserAgent or WWW::Mechanize
Message-Id: <vaqdnTmj8MadiWHNnZ2dnUVZ_u2dnZ2d@giganews.com>
I use WWW::Mechanize to automate a certain web task.
I connect to a HTTPS website https://web.site/url
However, I want to connect from another IP address, other than what
the computer is.
Since I have a lot of servers, I could easily set up SSH port
forwardings so that a connection to localhost:9876 would be redirected
as a connection to web.site port 443, through a remote server that I
own.
My question is how to instruct LWP::UserAgent or WWW::Mechanize to
route connections through localhost:9876, and not to web.site port
443.
In the end, the end result will be the same, I will connect to
web.site port 443, but through a tunnel to a completely different
server.
What I am not sure is how to tell LWP::UserAgent to do so.
The proxy settings seem to do something a little different.
I am using linux, by the way.
