Hi Sam, SOCKS is a socket level protocol that is supposed to be transparent for the application using the sockets. So you best take a look at org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.ProtocolSocketFactory. By implementing your own ProtocolSocketFactory, you are free to return a plain socket or one that uses SOCKS.
cheers, Roland Sam Berlin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 14.04.2004 19:04 Please respond to "Commons HttpClient Project" To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: SOCKS Proxies Hi All, The website states the SOCKS proxies are supported by the setting the native java properties that convert Sockets to using SOCKS internally. Unfortunately, this solution is not possible for us, as we need to be able to create Sockets sometimes with and sometimes without SOCKS. How would one go about implementing SOCKS as an additional proxying method (on the 2.0 code)? Some rough pointers to the general classes that require changes would be useful.
