Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.4+
- Composer
    - ext-sockets

Quick start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

First of all, add library to your app user `composer`:

```
composer require postuf/socks-proxy-async

```

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

Say, you have a socket and an event loop:

```
$socket = new SocketAsync(/* ... */);
while(true) {
  // process events
  if (!$socket->ready()) {
    $socket->poll();
  } else {
    // your logic ...
  }
}

```

We create socket, set [socket\_set\_nonblock](https://www.php.net/manual/ru/function.socket-set-nonblock.php), when socket is connected, `isReady` flag is set. Internal logic is organized as state machine. You can extend it and add more steps, so that only `$socket->poll()` is called on event loop, then you just check the state and process received updates.

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

Tests require working proxy and http server to be up and running, use `node/proxy.js` to start proxy, `node/http/start.sh` (`./start.sh` within its subdir) to start http server. By default, http server runs on port 8080, proxy occupies port 1080, tests use these ports.

DNS-related tests require dns server (`node/named.js`) to be up and running.
