Hi All.

Surprisingly, I could not find this on google :-\

We are trying to use vanilla POSIX-socket-APIs, but we are unable to
connect if the URL is on the other side of the proxy.
Is there a socket-option wherein this would be allowed?

I will be grateful for any pointers.

Thanks and Regards,
Ajay

This isn't a socket level operation, except to connect to the proxy.
Google suggests using libproxy and/or libcurl.

HTH,
