Cause there is no hope that this will be supported by nodejs itself (https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/1973) I hope this library can support socks proxies. A simply example where it is useful is the tor network, which only supports the socks protocol.

You can get SOCKS5 support with just a few extra lines of code and an external module. Examples: HTTPS and HTTP.

Is this still an issue?
This is so old I'm closing, if it is actually still an issue just let me know and I'll re-open.

please update this issue, module from mattcg is old, I prefer this request module, has its own socks5 support, because I encounter so much error with mattcg modules.. (socket hangup etc) thanks...

@raitucarp you can use that module with request, see mattcg's comment above.
