Hi,

Client operations could be integrated to nsock eventually, but not
directly, not right now. One of the benefits of SOCKS4a/5 is the
ability for the client to delegate endpoint name resolution to the
proxy, but nsock can only work on IP addresses. We should first make
nsock able to take targets' hostnames as parameters. That was somehow
mentioned on this list when discussing the first proxy patch[1].
