This is because you're doing a normal TCP connection.

You don't do the same thing here.  With the socket you now have open, 
you need to use SOCKS5 (RFC1928, which can be found at 
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1928.txt for reference) to request a 
connection from the streamhost to that SHA1'd string, as if you were 
connecting to a SOCKS5 proxy for general Internet use.

A streamhost is basically pretending to be a SOCKS5 proxy server, so 
once you've connected you need to do the SOCKS5 negotiation and then 
issue the SOCKS5 'CONNECT' command -- the command in the SOCKS5 
protocol which requests a connection to a destination site -- to the 
streamhost.  /Not/ a normal TCP connect() call, a SOCKS5 command packet 
with the SHA1'd host as the destination field.

Does that help?
