I've had considerable success in writing my JSch based application to set up local and remote port forwards through an http proxy. I've also added the keep-alive feature so that this application handles the normal occurrence of network ups and downs in stride and keeps on ticking (or connecting, less poetically).
Now I would like to add a socks5 connection to the mix and I have to confess that I'm more than a little overwhelmed on how to approach adding a socks5 capability. The basic dilemma is that I need to set an http proxy on the session but since socks5 is also added to a session as a Proxy, I'm scratching my head on how to get both proxies working simultaneously. Am I making this overly complex and there is really an easy way to do it? As near as I can tell by reading the code, JSch handles multiple port forwards assigning them each to a separate thread. But no such mechanism exists for proxies and this does seem to make sense. What would have struck me more sensible would have been for JSch to treat a socks connection differently from an http proxy for example. Admittedly, I'm out on the ledge here and ill understand these gory details. btw, I have the socks4/http proxy configuration working via the command line (Ubuntu, fwiw) but now I would like to reap the benefit of disconnect/recovery that JSch affords. Opinions? Suggestions?
