I totally understand; this is a legacy application for us too...

Sure, I just requested a subscription to net-dev so I might not see the
first few messages. To clarify:

	1. I will add socks.proxyHost and socks.proxyPort for consistency
	   with the other protocols, leaving as is socksProxyHost and
	   socksProxyPort for compatibility.
	2. I will add socks.nonProxyHosts and not socksNonProxyHosts.

Is that what you had in mind?
