Hi, I’ve got a bit of a problem here.
Here’s the setup, I’m proxying a remote command through a unix socket:
- Started an SSH session to a remote host using Net::SSH
- Created an UNIXServer and now am accepting connections
- A new connection arrives
- Want to pipe the connection’s out to a remote commands’ in, and vice
versa
Preferably using a new SSH channel and not a whole session.
E.g. the remote command would be lame - -
, encoding wav files to mp3,
and then I would pipe a wav to the proxy and get an mp3 out like this:
socat - UNIX-CONNECT:local_socket < my.wav > my.mp3
What’s the correct way to do the piping to the command and back with
Net::SSH?
Thanks in advance,
Ilmari

I went with using IO.popen(“ssh #{host}
#{create_proxy_script_for(filename)}”)
for now, couldn’t figure out how to do it with Net::SSH
(session.process.popen3 lacked .close_write, and trying to send data
in a blocking fashion with process.open took too much hacking of the
library internals (and I couldn’t get it working in the end))
Oh well. It’s slow and cumbersome, but at least it works in the
interim. Need to figure out a better way at some point.
