Tunneling LWP https requests through an existing socket.

[Peteris Krumins [Newsgroups]]

Hello!
Any ideas how I could re-use an existing socket (for example 
IO::Socket::Socks connection to a socks proxy server) to send https 
traffic through it?
The problem which I am facing is that there seems to be no way I can 
tell Net::SSL package to use an existing file handle/socket for sending 
data.

Net::SSL's connect() function calls only Crypt::SSLeay::Conn->new(); to 
create a new socket and there is no way I can override it or pass my 
socket to it.


Any ideas how I could get it working?
