NAME

       Net::Proxy::Connector::dual - Y-shaped Net::Proxy connector

DESCRIPTION

       Net::Proxy::Connecter::dual is a Net::Proxy::Connector that can forward the connection to
       two distinct services, based on the client connection, before any data is exchanged.

CONNECTOR OPTIONS

       This connector can only work as an "in" connector.

       The "server_first" and "client_first" options are required: they are hashrefs containing
       the options necessary to create two "out" Net::Proxy::Connector objects that will be used
       to connect to the requested service.

       The Net::Proxy::Connector::dual object decides between the two services by waiting during
       a short timeout. If the client sends some data directly, then it is connected via the
       "client_first" connector. Otherwise, at the end of the timeout, it is connected via the
       "server_first" connector.

       host
           The hostname on which the connector will listen for client connections.  Default is
           "localhost".

       port
           The port on which the connector will listen for client connections.

       server_first
           Typically an "out" connector to a SSH server or any service that sends a banner line.

       client_first
           Typically an "out" connectrot to a web server or SSL server.

       timeout
           The timeout in seconds (can be decimal) to make a decision.  Default is 1 second.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

       This module is based on a script named sslh, which I wrote with Frédéric Plé
       "<frederic.ple+sslh@gmail.com>" (who had the original insight about the fact that not all
       servers speak first on the wire).

       Frédéric wrote a C program, while I wrote a Perl script (based on my experience with
       connect-tunnel).

       Now that "Net::Proxy" is available, I've ported the Perl script to use it.
