Hi Rob, I'm not a 100% sure of the setup your trying to achieve here but if you are asking "can I perform an HTTP request over an SSH connection" then I believe the answer is yes and is achieved via SSH port forwarding which basically means that you connect to the SSH server on your local machine (which talks to the the SSH server on the remote machine) and SSH will forward traffic to the service running on port x of the remote machine (via secure SSH).
Generally this is called SSH PORT FORWARDING - here is a URL but you'll find plenty others. http://csociety.ecn.purdue.edu/~sigos/projects/ssh/forwarding/ joel -----Original Message----- From: Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 02 August 2002 13:29 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: get data over ssh Hi, I don't have any relevant code to post but what I would like to do is; from a server behind a firewall I would like to ssh to an Internet server and grep a line out of the password file into my script running behind the firewall. Any ideas if this is possible or what category on the CPAN that I should look at? Thanks Rob Good judgement comes from experience, and experience - well, that comes from poor judgement. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
