[Nutch Wiki] Update of "GettingNutchRunningWithSocksProxy" by VinhKhucNgoc

New page:
= Running Nutch with SOCKS proxy =

Created by Vinh Khuc Ngoc

== Problem ==

Running Nutch with SOCKS proxy is necessary in some situations, but Apache Http Client 3.0 still doesn't support SOCKS. 
 
== Solution ==

Since SOCKS protocol is supported in JDK 1.4.2, there is a "quick and dirty" way to make Nutch work with SOCKS, that is adding properties '''socksProxyHost''' and '''socksProxyPort''' when we call JVM in bin/nutch script: 
 
{{{
exec "$JAVA" -DsocksProxyHost=<host> -DsocksProxyPort=<port> $JAVA_HEAP_MAX $NUTCH_OPTS -classpath "$CLASSPATH" $CLASS "$@"
}}}
 
Just keep waiting for Apache Http Client 4.0 with SOCKS support.

Here is the issue: [http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-334]
