Hi Chris,

I totally understand; this is a legacy application for us too...

Sure, I just requested a subscription to net-dev so I might not see the first few messages. To clarify:

1. I will add socks.proxyHost and socks.proxyPort for consistency
   with the other protocols, leaving as is socksProxyHost and
   socksProxyPort for compatibility.
2. I will add socks.nonProxyHosts and not socksNonProxyHosts.

Is that what you had in mind?
