I am trying to automate searches through socks5 proxies. I often run
into this error when trying to send a query through a proxy:

I am running Fedora Core 2 with:
curl 7.11.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.11.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7a ipv6
zlib/1.2.1.2

#########################

I also tried subsituting the IP address of the proxies but it made no
difference. A search on Google produces one result:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2003-04/0015.html

It is a code snippet that seems to reference a curl connection problem (Duh!):
#4 0xfc8d04e4 in Curl_protocol_connect (conn=0x1417458,
hostadd=0x11c6800) at url.c:1768

I will download url.c and grep through it for my error message but I
am not really a C programmer. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do
to solve this issue?
