💖 Protocol::SOCKS::Client(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is Protocol::SOCKS::Client — a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and it's literally the client half of the SOCKS protocol. group chat but for sockets. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Protocol::SOCKS::Client — client support for SOCKS protocol 💅

✨ VERSION ✨

Version 0.003 — yes that's the whole version, and yes it's serving exactly what it needs to serve 🌸

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the whole vibe here is: this module gives you an abstraction for dealing with the client side of the SOCKS protocol. that's it, that's the description, no cap. it handles the client-side stuff so you don't have to rawdog the protocol yourself 🦋

✨ METHODS ✨

every single one of these, in order, no skipping, because we do not gatekeep here 👑

🌟 completion 🌟

Returns the completion future. that's the future you're waiting on for the whole thing to be done-done. main character future, honestly ⭐

🌟 auth 🌟

Returns the auth Future. the authentication one. its own little future, doing its own little auth things 🎀

🌟 auth_methods 🌟

Returns the list of auth methods we can handle. like, the ones we're actually equipped for. if it's not on this list, it's not happening 🙈

🌟 init_packet 🌟

Initial client packet. the opening move. the first text. the "hey bestie" of packets 💌

🌟 on_read 🌟

Handler for reading data from the server. server says something, this is what catches it 🌈

🌟 init 🌟

Startup — writes the initial packet to the server. so it takes that init_packet and actually sends it. iconic behaviour ✨

🌟 connect 🌟

Issues a connection request. this is the "let us in" moment 🚪

🌟 parse_reply 🌟

Parse a server reply. takes whatever the server sent back and makes sense of it. translator energy, we love to see it 🔥
