socat 1.8.1.0-2 is now available in Cygwin. This is a TEST release that adds experimental support for the SOCKS4, SOCKS4a, and SOCKS5 protocols. Otherwise it's the same as version 1.8.1.0-1. SOCKS support in Cygwin socat really is experimental, because I don't have a SOCKS server to test it against. So if you want to use SOCKS in socat, please test it and report your results to the Cygwin list, [email protected]. For example: socat TEXT:'GET / HTTP/1.1\n' SOCKS4:socksserver:cygwin.com:80 SOCKS support in socat will remain in testing until I get at least one positive report that it works. socat is a relay for bidirectional data transfer between two independent data channels. Each channel may be a file, pipe, device (serial line etc. or a pseudo terminal), socket (UNIX, IP4, IP6, raw, UDP, TCP), TLS socket, proxy CONNECT connection, file descriptor (stdin etc.), the GNU line editor (readline), a program, or a combination of two of those. These modes include generation of 'listening' sockets, named pipes, and pseudo terminals. Andrew E.
