Indeed.
Just to be clear, this code is for *bytestream* SOCKS5 proxy (used by
file transfers and tubes), not to connect to your XMPP server through a
SOCKS5 proxy.

Main reason is because http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0065.html doesn't
mention proxy authentication and I have no idea how we are suppose to
manage that (is that even possible in that context?).
Furthermore, I don't know any proxy requiring authentification.
Thanks Guillaume,
I am still digesting the complexities of how SOCKS5 proxies for bytestreams
are negotiated.
I am working on determining if I can use a private proxy server in this
context and restrict the proxy servers use.
Authentication is the only way I could think of.

Can we keep this thread specific to s5b proxies. Please start a new threat
about basic proxy support.
