Proxie/Socks5 Connections Through Winsock

[l3iohazard]

Hi all im wanting to use proxies/socks5 with winsock. i've seen plenty of examples on extracting html page. but thats not what i want to do, i want to be able to connect to a proxy or a socks5 proxy and send data to a server.

Thanks in advance

Are you new to winsock? If your new to winsock, you should read some beginner tutorials before trying to make something as complicated as a client for a proxy. The most common and pobably best first winsock app to try is a basic (1-to-1) chat client and server.

If your not new to winsock, all you need to do is search google for the proxy protocol which you want e.g. HTTP, SOCKS4,5. This will tell you how the proxy works, so you will know what data you need to send, and what you will receive.

Note that a socks4 and a http proxy will require different data sent, and they will send back different data formats.
