Connecting via a SOCKS proxy

[nigeljohnson73]

Is there a way/library/bit of code that I can use to connect to a site through a SOCKS proxy?

If I use client.connect() and then use it directly I get an error from my proxy complaining that it is not an HTTP proxy.

If I wrap the client connection in the http.begin() call and use an HTTPClient, the same thing happens.

I need a way of connecting to a service using the socks5h protocol.

Is this possible?
