Would it make sense to invest time into native socks support, or is it ok to rely on tsocks or similar?
In my opinion, tsocks works very well, for those that have a socks proxy, it's normal to rely on it, at least on linux, *bsd and most other *nix. For windows its another story, i have no knowledge for something like tsocks for windows but a quick search returns the sockscap as a similar solution: http://www.socksproxychecker.com/sockscap.html So i think its enough to add a reference for this two solutions in the documentation for those that need socks support. Of course, others might have a different opinion :) higuita -- Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country. -- Hermann Goering, Nazi and war criminal, 1883-1946
