Did you mean?  SOCKSProxy

Hi @da2x, it seems like you're trying to use the socks_proxy method with the Net::HTTP class, but it's not defined in the socksify gem. Instead, you should use the Socksify::HTTP class, which inherits from Net::HTTP and includes the socks_proxy method. Here's the corrected code:

require 'socksify/http'

# Use Socksify::HTTP instead of Net::HTTP
Socksify::HTTP.socks_proxy('127.0.0.1', 9050)

By using the Socksify::HTTP class instead, you can now properly call the socks_proxy method without encountering the NoMethodError.

@da2x, does @kornate's answer resolve your issue?

I followed the README and got the same error. Still getting it with the suggested fix.

> irb

I see the issue... I'm not sure how this gem is being published, but the code looks nothing like the what is in the v1.7.1 GitHub tag. Lots of things are concatenated in a single lib/socksify.rb and there are only two files in lib... http.rb and debug.rb.

I can confirm that after changing my Gemfile to this, the code in the README works.

source "https://rubygems.org"
git_source(:github) { |repo| "https://github.com/#{repo}.git" }
gem 'socksify', github: 'astro/socksify-ruby', ref: 'v1.7.2'
