connect(:$host!, :$port!, :$proxy-server, :$proxy-port = 1080, :$socket = IO::Socket::INET)
Opens a connection to the $host
via the $proxy-server
. Returns a ready-to-use
socket on success, and a Failure otherwise.
The $socket
parameter allows you to pass an already-connected handle (in
which case $proxy-server
and $proxy-port
are ignored), or to define an
alternate socket class to make the connection with.
