If you want to use SOCKS, get curl 7.11.1 and no less. We've done fixes to the
SOCKS code very recently.

This code doesn't tell curl that the proxy is a SOCKS one, and thus it assumes
that the proxy is a HTTP one and that will always fail.

CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE must be set to CURLPROXY_SOCKS5 for socks to work.
