Re: [Gaim-devel] socks4/MSN broken?

I should start off by saying that I don't realy know how the proxy stuff
works, but hopefully some of this will help.

I believe s4_canread() only gets called when the connection is closed.

Here's what it looks like is supposed to happen:
-Gaim does a DNS lookup on the socks4 host name, if necessary
-Gaim connects to the socks4 server
-When the connection is established, Gaim writes some socks4 header stuff (in
s4_canwrite(), the "packet[#]" lines.
-Gaim waits for the proxy to say something
-The proxy sends back some similar header stuff, this triggers a call to
s4_canread().  s4_canread() reads in up to 9 bytes.  If it reads in at least 4
bytes all is well (I think) and that function "returns;"  Otherwise it closes
the connection.

I'm not really sure what's supposed to happen after that.  Hope that helps,
Mark
