gio.proxy

Module for [Proxy] interface

Types 2

interfaceProxy

A [gio.proxy.Proxy] 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 [gio.ioextension_point.IOExtensionPoint.getExtensionByName].

Methods
gio.proxy.Proxy getDefaultForProtocol(string protocol)Find the `gio-proxy` extension point for a proxy implementation that supports the specified protocol.
gio.iostream.IOStream connect(gio.iostream.IOStream connection, gio.proxy_address.ProxyAddress proxyAddress, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null)Given connection to communicate with a proxy (eg, a #GSocketConnection that is connected to the proxy server), this does the necessary handshake to connect to proxy_address, and if required, wraps ...
void connectAsync(gio.iostream.IOStream connection, gio.proxy_address.ProxyAddress proxyAddress, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null, gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback callback = null)Asynchronous version of [gio.proxy.Proxy.connect].
bool supportsHostname()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 impleme...
