Vb6: winhttp proxy socks5 support

[geekmaro]

i tried this code to connect winhttp with socks5 but it failed, anyone have an idea how to do it ?
winHttpReq.setProxy 2, "proxyserver:8080", ""

[wqweto]

I guess SetProxy expects http/https proxy (not sure about the second) so something like this would explain the idea

winHttpReq.setProxy 2, "http://proxyserver:8080", ""

Probably using "https://proxyserver:443" to specify the secure protocol is available too but not SOCKS5 (that would have been a separate method).

cheers,

No, I'm not aware of direct support in winhttp but could be wrong.

Also, there must be an http proxy that can tunnel through a socks5 proxy available somewhere on the interwebs.

I'm positive curl supports socks5 proxies though.

C:\Users\wqw>curl --help | findstr socks
     --socks4 <host[:port]> SOCKS4 proxy on given host + port
     --socks4a <host[:port]> SOCKS4a proxy on given host + port
     --socks5 <host[:port]> SOCKS5 proxy on given host + port
     --socks5-basic  Enable username/password auth for SOCKS5 proxies
     --socks5-gssapi Enable GSS-API auth for SOCKS5 proxies
     --socks5-gssapi-nec Compatibility with NEC SOCKS5 server
     --socks5-gssapi-service <name> SOCKS5 proxy service name for GSS-API
     --socks5-hostname <host[:port]> SOCKS5 proxy, pass host name to proxy

cheers,
</wqw>
