I was talking about this mail:

I don't really care about SOCKS either. Actually, I had written a simple
SOCKS proxy once just to test an implementation and I've never seen
any SOCKS proxy in real life. IPv6 support is very simply though, instead
of poking the 4 bytes of an IPv4 address, you poke the 16 bytes of
an IPv6 address and change the connection type from 1 to 4. That's it.
I just came across your post when searching for "socks5+ipv6"
because I'm making gtk-gnutella IPv6 ready and it has some (dubious)
support for SOCKS4/5 as well.
