I must've been referring to curl, or at least I should've. The SOCKS support
in curl does not support IPv6.

I doubt you'll find me do that (without someone paying me for it). I don't
have any socks proxy, and I've never even used SOCKS anywhere using any tool
during my whole life.

If anyone still uses SOCKS and such a person finds use for IPv6 support for it
in curl, I'm sure that someone can do a patch...

I would personally rather prefer to first get:

1) a SOCKS test server for the curl test suite

2) proper asynchronous SOCKS code that prevents a blocking behaviour

Thanks anyway for the remark!
