[PROPOSAL] Removing SOCKS support in 7.0.0
There are a few features we are looking to remove in the ATS 7.0.0 release. If you are using these features and require them, please respond to this email. We also need to have people that are willing to invest time and fix some of the bugs for these features. Your feedback is very important!
SOCKS is a feature that hasn’t had a lot of usage and support on it. It would be helpful to know who is using it and willing to fix bugs on it.
The proposal is to remove the configurations options, statistics, and code for SOCKS.
Thank you,
-Bryan

Hi Bryan Call,
I will handle the socks issues and make it works again.
There are 2 socks features as following:
1. as socks client, ATS will connect to parent server and origin server via
socks server
minimum configuration:
proxy.config.socks.socks_needed INT 1
proxy.config.socks.default_servers STRING x.x.x.x:1080 x.x.x.x:1080
x.x.x.x:1080
proxy.config.socks.socks_version INT 4 (default)
proxy.config.socks.socks_config_file STRING socks.config (default)
2. as socks proxy, ATS will identify HTTP request on tcp port 80 and the
rest of requests will proxy to socks server
minimum configuration:
proxy.config.socks.socks_needed INT 1
proxy.config.socks.accept_enabled INT 1
proxy.config.socks.accept_port INT 1080 (default)
proxy.config.socks.http_port INT 80 (default)
The socks proxy feature requires enalbing socks client feature first.

The reasons to remove it would be if it is broken (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2482 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2482>) or if no one is using it (most code requires some maintenance).
If people are using it and want to keep it then please speak up and vote on keeping it. If you are willing to fix bugs on the feature than that is even better!

I have do some analysis on socks proxy code, It is a very simple ProxySM.
It is a good start for a newbie to be a ATS developer.
Why do we remove it if it doesn't bother us.
Currently, I'm rewriting it into SocksProfileSM to verify the design of
ProfileSM.
I draw two diagrams of socks proxy functions.

I've never heard on anyone even trying to use our Socks code, but maybe we should take some extra time to study it. Do you think there is value in keeping it?

The Socks Proxy feature is used to route HTTP request in socks request to
HttpSM and Tunnel non-Http request to Socks Server.
It is a Socks Proxy and it is NOT the replacement of Socks Server.

To me personally, this is a slam dunk, we should remove it. There are better SOCKS proxies out there, and we (the ATS community) have no idea if we are a secure with our implementation as we’d want to be. Carrying on with this legacy service in ATS is just a burden.
Of course, as usual, if someone wants to continue the active support of this code base, please speak up.
I’m hugely +1 on removing this.
