Support socks5 proxies?

[petterreinholdtsen]

Hi. Is there a way to use this library with socks5 proxies?

[Rob--W]

This library does not offer any proxy functionality, it only reads proxy information from environment variables in a standard way, to offer the desired proxy to the library user (which can then in turn use the returned configuration to do the actual proxying).

Whether SOCKS proxies are supported depends on the application that consumes the variables. For example, in curl, one can set the value to socks5://username:password@hostname:port to request the use of a SOCKS5 proxy.
