Tags: patch Hi, The behavior in question only affects SOCKS version 4 [1] and is shown in the second attachment. The first revises some helpers and adds additional tests I was too lazy or thoughtless to include in recent patches. The third contains a naive attempt at a fix but may suffer from my inadequate grasp of Emacs coding systems [2]. Please advise if that's so and/or I need to hit the books (or get my head examined). Thanks, J.P. [1] The function socks--open-network-stream assumes all v5 addresses to be of type 3, which means a domain name of variable length, presumably of the LDH character set: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1928#section-5 [2] Re coding-systems and proposed fix: I'm wondering if I should have used encode-coding-string (or something else) instead. Also: while socks--open-network-stream is perhaps the real culprit because it creates the offending string, I figured it's more resilient to have the function doing the sending to massage any IP address it encounters.
