Hi Kris, I really like your ideas for redoing Ncat's proxy options:
Just like --ssl means either connect with SSL or listen with SSL solely depending on -l (so there's no --ssl-server or some other redundant nonsense).
That's great. Less redundant, logical and easier to remember.
Sounds good to me. I actually prefer defaulting to HTTP, but I figured more people used SOCKS so defaulting to that would be better.
I have no real preference on whether to use SOCKS5 or HTTP as the default.But I would prefer the parameters 'socks4' and 'socks5' over '4' and '5'. IMHO the longer forms are more readable, more consistent with 'http' and therefore easier to remember. Moreover, I think "-X socks5" is quite self-documenting while "-X 5" is not. And 'socks4' and 'socks5' are still quite short and easy to type.
-x, --proxy -X, --proxy-type -P, --proxy-auth
IMHO that's a good idea. I don't really like the "user:pass@" style or something like "--x-auth".
It's just that mixing the short forms with --proxy-auth, or the long forms with --x-auth, don't go well together IMO,
I guess most people will either use the long forms or the short forms, so that would be no real issue.
