HttpClient does not support SOCKS proxying directly. However, it can make use of whatever support the JRE provides. if the underlying JRE is capable of opening sockets via a SOCKS server, so is HttpClient. One can also consider implementing a custom socket factory that makes use of jdk 1.5 functionality and registering it as a default protocol socket factory for the desired protocol scheme.
