crypton-socks

Originally forked from socks-0.6.1.

Haskell library implementation of the SOCKS 5 protocol.

TODO

• more socks authentification methods: only no authentification is supported for now.
• support of socks' bind for server to client connection (like FTP).
• add socks4a and socks4 support.

Usage

See Example.hs for really simple and straighforward example. The main api is only 2 calls:

• socksConnectAddr which connect to a SockAddr (SockAddrInet or SockAddrInet6). The name resolution is left on client side.
• socksConnectName which connect to a fully qualified domain name "www.example.com". The proxy server will do the name resolution.

History

The socks package was originated and then maintained by Vincent Hanquez. For published reasons, he does not intend to develop the package further after version 0.6.1 but he also does not want to introduce other maintainers.
