My point is that if you're tunnelling and not doing any caching, SOCKS5 is a simpler and cleaner protocol than HTTP CONNECT. If clients don't support SOCKS5 well, then they should be fixed. Now it turns out that Polipo's support for HTTP CONNECT is pretty solid and reasonably efficient, so you should be able to use Polipo for tunnelling HTTPS just fine -- it's just a little overkill for that. -- Juliusz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.
