You reply with a client hello message that is formatted very similarly, and then you send it XML/NETCONF formatted messages and it replies with XML formatted responses.
Using your suggestion, I tried this:
my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host, user=>$user, password=>$pass);
$ssh->error and die "unable to connect to remote host: " . $ssh->error
+;
my ($socket, $pid) = $ssh->open2socket({ssh_opts => '-s'}, 'xmlagent')
+;
($socket, $pid) = $ssh->open2socket;
while (<$socket>) { print };
waitpid($pid, 0);
Expecting to either see the XML hello message in the debug, or in the socket print. However, it appears that it first makes a connection to the main system, authenticates, and then tries to connect to the subsystem. I'm not good enough with SSH to know if that's how it works with except/shell version or not. Debug shows this:
# call args: ['ssh','-o','ServerAliveInterval=30','-x2MN','-o','Number
+OfPasswordPrompts=1','-o','PreferredAuthentications=keyboard-interact
+ive,password','-S','/home/user/.libnet-openssh-perl/user-host-31054-2
+7407','-l','user','host','--']
Then I see the banner go by and the password prompt as expected, but no XML hello. Then I see:
# call args: ['ssh','-s','-S','/home/user/.libnet-openssh-perl/user-ho
+st-31054-27407','-l','user','host','--','xmlagent']
# open_ex: ['ssh','-s','-S','/home/user/.libnet-openssh-perl/user-host
+-31054-27407','-l','user','host','--','xmlagent']
# call args: ['ssh','-S','/home/user/.libnet-openssh-perl/user-host-31
+054-27407','-l','user','host','--']
# open_ex: ['ssh','-S','/home/user/.libnet-openssh-perl/user-host-3105
+4-27407','-l','user','host','--']
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
stty: standard input: Invalid argument
And then it hangs there, probably looping on the "while". But, the important bit for this step is that it does not look this this creates a properly formatted SSH command either. The "-s" flag is at the beginning, but the "xmlagent" value is at the end - I would expect that it would need to send "-s xmlagent" in order for the -s flag to have meaning. I'm also suspecting that it needs to do so in the first connection, not later (but I'm not positive if that is how SSH should work or not).
