Hello, I wanted to use dillo with a socks proxy (using ssh -D portnumber), however, I was not successful. ( I did export http_proxy=127.0.0.1:portnumber and then ran dillo, but then it sais 'connecting' for any url given and nothing happens. ) Is this somehow possible? Thank you! Ruda

In the unix world, to use socks you usually need that the app support it... OR use a LD_LIBRARY_PATH preload trick to replace the normal network calls with socks one. Its usually called sockify a app. Dante socks have a command called tsocks that does that, just run "tsocks dillo" and dillo will support the socks proxy and work normally.

Would it make sense to invest time into native socks support, or is it ok to rely on tsocks or similar? Cheers, Johannes

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.

+1 to document on using tsocks. Sockets are subtle and not easy to code in a portable way. -- Cheers Jorge.-
