public interface Proxy : Object

A `GProxy` handles connecting to a remote host via a given type of proxy server.

It is implemented by the `gio-proxy` extension point. The extensions are named after their proxy protocol name. As an example, a SOCKS5 proxy implementation can be retrieved with the name `socks5` using the function [method@Gio.IOExtensionPoint.get_extension_by_name].

Static methods:

public static Proxy? get_default_for_protocol (string protocol)
Find the `gio-proxy` extension point for a proxy implementation that supports the specified protocol.

Methods:

public abstract IOStream connect (IOStream connection, ProxyAddress proxy_address, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
Given connection to communicate with a proxy (eg, a SocketConnection that is connected to the proxy server), this does the necessary handshake to connect to proxy_address, and if required, wraps the IOStream to handle proxy payload.
public abstract async IOStream connect_async (IOStream connection, ProxyAddress proxy_address, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
Asynchronous version of connect.
public abstract bool supports_hostname ()
Some proxy protocols expect to be passed a hostname, which they will resolve to an IP address themselves.
