Hello,
I've been working on integrating SOCKS support into code that uses SSL
currently. Now the easiest way is of course to use LD_PRELOAD. Next easiest
is to compile OpenSSL with Dante/NEC/whatever SOCKS library. Neither of
these is really an option, however. What I have done is created a SOCKS
class which uses dlopen() and can scan for SOCKS implementations on a given
machine. I just call Socks->read() instead of read(), etc. From what I can
tell, there's no way to replace the needed libc calls in OpenSSL. Can a
function pointer table and a function call be added to the next release to
allow these functions to be replaced? I'm willing to write and submit such a
patch if you like... I haven't found any better solution to this problem.
Thank you
