... my summer home work ...

I have worked maintenance of srelay/srelaye and released

srelay-0.4.8
srelaye-0.0.3b1

Added use of local (not system) password for SOCKS user/pass authentication.
local password file is like Apache's htpasswd and you can generate it easily by scripts sampled in scripts/srpasswd.py.
And, your htpasswd like password file is indicated by '-U' option.
Do not confuse with '-u' option, which is to indicate password similary but is used for server to server SOCKS relaying.
Reviewed SOCKS authentication option (-a)
srelay supports just one SOCKS authentication method, username/password.
NO-AUTH is namely "I don't authenticate, go ahead please.". Indicating NO-AUTH (-a n) holds down any other authentication option(s). It's no use. The meaningful operation is do '-a p' or no '-a' option.
(srelaye) There were a lot of incompletions in SOCKS relaying. Reviewed and fixed.
INCOMPATIBILITY: IPv6 address expression in SOCKS relay (routing) configuration - srelay.conf has been changed.
You have to enclose IPv6 address by square bracket '[' and ']'. But, as usual, check is so loose and you may have some trouble if you dare to or inadvertently set arbitrary characters, formats in them. Even an IPv4 address, there isn't check for the digits of each numbers of quad ;-p... read more

srelay"e" is a libevent backed srelay - hello 1, 2, 3, ... testing :-p

If you know libevent (http://libevent.org), you may be interested in multi-threading event driven type network server.
I've just re-worked srelay as one of such app.

srelay 0.4.5 released

My SOCKS Proxy Server - srelay - now startig support
IPv6 addresses.
You may construct a GateWay between IPv4 world and IPv6.

0.4.5 is the first release of this feature, so,
- it's in alpha to beta quality.
- OS support is FreeBSD and RedHat Linux/386 for now.
- SOCKS-BIND function is incomplete in IPv6.
- needs more testing.

= NOTE =
I found something ...
It is side-effect of IPv6 supporting functions such as,
getaddrinfo(), IPv6 addresses can be treated as just a
string and the SOCKS server accepts it as if it were
domain name string. If your clients are clever enough
NOT to recognize IPv6 addresses, you may have chance
to passsing IPv6 addresses to the server.
