This change adds SOCKS5 support to the library fetch(3) and updates the man page. Details: Within the fetch_connect() function, fetch(3) checks if the SOCKS5_PROXY environment variable is set. If so, it connects to this host rather than the end-host. It then initializes the SOCKS5 connection in accordance with RFC 1928 and returns the resulting conn_t (file descriptor) for usage by the regular FTP/HTTP handlers. Design Decision: This change defaults all DNS resolutions through the proxy by sending all IPs as hostnames. Going forward, another feature might be to create another environmental variable to toggle resolutions through the proxy or not.. One may set the SOCKS5_PROXY environment variable in any of the formats: SOCKS5_PROXY=proxy.example.com SOCKS5_PROXY=proxy.example.com:1080 SOCKS5_PROXY=192.0.2.0 SOCKS5_PROXY=198.51.100.0:1080 SOCKS5_PROXY=[2001:db8::1] SOCKS5_PROXY=[2001:db8::2]:1080 Then perform a request with fetch(1). (note by kevans) I've since been informed that Void Linux/xbps has a fork of libfetch that also implements SOCKS5. I may compare/contrast the two in the mid-to-near future.
