Hi, I’d like to code a script able to connect to the Tor server. Find above the command line script. I’d like to do the same in ruby. I tried using TCPSocket, Net::Telnet… no way. Thank you Camille SHELL SESSION: camille$ telnet 127.0.0.1 9051 Trying 127.0.0.1… Connected to localhost. Escape character is ‘^]’. authenticate 250 OK … quit 250 closing connection Connection closed by foreign host. ---

I found finally how to do that. I forgot to write \r\n at each end of line. Here the code: require ‘net/telnet’ t = TCPSocket.new(“localhost”,‘9051’) t.puts(“authenticate\r\n”) puts t.gets #… t.puts(“quit\r\n”) puts t.gets Camille R. wrote: > Hi, > > I’d like to code a script able to connect to the Tor server.
