SOCKS4/5?

[trenatos]

I have an idea for an application that would be run over the Tor Onion network, does anyone know how I would go about networking through SOCKS4/5?
The traffic will be simple HTTP Post/Get but I don't know how I would go about going through the local Tor SOCKS4/5 proxy

You can use curl

Code: Select all

put shell("curl -s --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9050 http://checkip.dyndns.org") 

or you can talk directly to Tor by Port 9050 via the Socks protocol.

Sorry about the late reply, the forums didn't let me know there was a new reply.

Thanks Robert, I think this will let me pick up the project again

Perhaps the new 'secure socket' will help with SOCKS implementations that need to connect to SSL on the outside.
