Nothing has happened here within 11 years.  This bug is basically a
request to generally improve SOCKS support, which would absolutely be a
good thing.  However, it will be hard to make any progress on that
without a patch.  Meanwhile, some things have changed, and others have
improved.

I'm therefore closing this bug report now, until such a time that anyone
takes on the job of taking a look at improving our SOCKS support.

severity: wishlist

It would be great if all network primitives (open-network-stream and
friends) supported SOCKS.
