I have a need to proxy outbound socket connections through a SOCKS proxy. I've seen plenty of references to reverse proxy implementations in nodejs (for inbound connections to web servers for example), but very little information on proxying outbound connections. However, I did find this bit of code which seems to do the initial SOCKS connection setup: https://gist.github.com/1827875 …I think I could use this in combination with http/s client requests if I could find a way to setup an http request on a pre-existing socket (rather than create a new socket or use an http.Agent connection pool). So, is there a way to emit an http.ClientRequest on an existing socket and get the response? I will need to so a similar thing with an SSL socket for HTTPS.
Or, am I missing something really basic? The ability to establish connections over a SOCKS proxy seems like pretty basic networking functionality that should be readily available with nodejs (if not built into the core libraries). -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
