As far as I can tell from my experimenting, there is no way to proxy
HTTPS requests using the Net::HTTP classes. My question is: can it be
done? And if so, how?
I’ve tried numerous variations, but the main gist of what I’ve tried is
this code fragment:
httpobj = Net::HTTP.new( host, port )
this Proxy version below doesn’t work to post to an HTTPS url through
a proxy even though
it’s supposed to have
the same methods as Net::HTTP, errors with a use_ssl is not a method
httpobj = Net::HTTP.Proxy( @proxy_host, @proxy_port, @proxy_user,
@proxy_password )
httpobj.use_ssl = true
httpobj.start do | http |
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(path)
request.set_form_data({ "scan[scan_results]" => "#{results}" } )
response = http.request(request)
end
Proxying normal HTTP requests works fine. Using HTTPS with no proxying
works fine, but
