 |Hi,

 |I often need to go through a SOCKS proxy to access certain sites. The
 |diff below adds SOCKS5 support to ftp(1) for HTTP transfers, similar to
 |curl(1). Enabled when http_proxy is set to a socks5:// URL.

 |before freeing) and sslpath (never freed).

 |Tested with ssh -D and a few other SOCKS5 proxies. Also verified the
 |existing HTTP proxy feature still works with squid(8).

By the way, the $SOCKS5_PROXY environment variable becomes used
for automatic selection of SOCKS5.  (Some things on FreeBSD,
lynx(1), and, hm, the MUA i maintain, s-nail; maybe more.)

--steffen
