Socks Questions

[feickholt]

Currently I'm testing socks an Version 7.5.1

some questions:

I tried:

if connection.protocol equals Socks

     if protocolFilterable then applyfiltering

If stored detectedProtocol and logged the findings...

Examples

  socks://www.heise.de:80          is HTTP and filterable

  socks://talkgadget.google.com:443 is TCP and not filterable

  socks://mtalk.google.com:5228    is <UKNOWN> but filterable??????

I also found

socks://mtalk.google.com:5228  is HTTPS and filterable ???

All TCP detection does not work.... does this mean SSL in Socks is not possible? We Socks Error Code  4

What about ssl interception with Socks?

Are there any detailed configuration hints for SSL? Do you have any Best practices Documents regarding Socks?
