Bug#819583: ITP: ruby-proxifier -- add support for HTTP or SOCKS proxies and allow one to force TCPSocket to use proxies



Package: wnpp

Owner: Lucas Kanashiro <kanashiro.duarte@gmail.com>

* Package name    : ruby-proxifier
  Version         : 1.0.3

  Description     : add support for HTTP or SOCKS proxies and allow one to force TCPSocket to use proxies

Proxifier enable ruby programmers to use HTTP or SOCKS proxies
interchangeably when using TCPSockets. Either manually with
`Proxifier::Proxy#open` or by `require "proxifier/env"`.    
                                                                                   
Allows one to use ruby code that doesn't user proxies for users that
have to use proxies. The pruby and pirb executables are simple wrappers
for  their respective ruby executables that support proxies from
environment variables.


I intend to maintain this package under the umbrella of Debian Ruby team. This
package is a new dependency of new chef's release.
