[jdev] Transfer File problem

[Jose Miguel]

I'm trying to use the SOCKS5 'CONNECT' command (using RFC1928 protocol), but
I don't know how to write to the streamhost the request to connect, I've
been reading the protocol and I don't understand what format must have the
data. The protocol speaks about octets, but I have attempted several ways
and it doesn't work. Last way that I have attempted (for the method
negotiation before to CONNECT, for example):

string="\x05\x01\x00";

socket_write(socket, string);

returns something and I try to read it with:

string2=socket_read(socket,16);

but "string2" contains something undefined.



Thanks.

      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?
