Re: SOCKS proxy

[Giulio Eulisse <gi...@cern.ch>]

Ciao,

for the record in the end I did something different.

Given our authentication frontend allows us authenticate by passing time 
limited cookies in the request [1], I added cookie based authentication 
in the aurora client.

See https://reviews.apache.org/r/51893/ if you are interested.

Thanks again for the help.
