new proxy_client addr
can be passed as proxy
to the Uq_engines.connector
, Uq_engines.listener
, and
Uq_engines.datagram_provider
functions to use
the SOCKS proxy for connections, servers, and datagram socket,
respectively.
The SOCKS client supports the following methods:
connect
: Only TCP connections are supported (UDP could be made
working - TODO)listen
: This works (only) for TCP sockets, toocreate_datagram_socket
: Creates unconnected datagram sockets that
can be sent and received with object methods`Sock_inet
and `Sock_inet_byname
. For the latter this means
that name resolution is done by the proxy.
The nature of SOCKS restricts the functionality:
`Sock_unix
addresses are not supported (i.e. you cannot connect
to a Unix domain socket on the proxy host)multiple_connections
is false
because of this.Uq_engines.client_endpoint_connector
