Feature inqury (WinInet - SOCKS 5)
What I'd like to know is whether the WinInet API supports HTTP connections through a SOCKS5 proxy. I've successfully authenticated on a HTTP proxy server, and non-authenticated SOCKS (SOCKS4) connection works fine (gained some experience the old-fashioned trial-error way...), but SOCKS5 still refused to work.
In case some would have idea how to make it work, and would be as kind as sharing some details, I've mostly tried the InternetOpen(), InternetConnect(), HttpOpenRequest(), HttpSendRequest(), HttpClose() functions, together with InternetOption() called with INTERNET_OPTION_USERNAME, INTERNET_OPTION_PASSWORD options (and with INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY_USERNAME, INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY_PASSWORD, but effectively without any success with these two). The proxy server name was set to "socks=127.0.0.1:1080" as well as a SOCKS5 proxy was listening on that port. I've tried to set it to "socks5=...", but then this parameter was ignored without any notifying NULL result, exception or error code after the call to InternetOpen() or InternetConnect().
Any help would be appreciated, of course.
