[jira] [Commented] (ZOOKEEPER-2250) Support client connections using a SOCKS proxy

["David Phillips (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2250?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15856269#comment-15856269 ] 

David Phillips commented on ZOOKEEPER-2250:
-------------------------------------------

[~takeseem], that is correct, due to the nature of NIO, applications must add SOCKS support themselves. The protocol itself is quite simple: after connecting, the client sends a few bytes to the server indicating where to connect, then the server replies with a few bytes indicating success or failure. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS

> Connecting to ZooKeeper via a SOCKS proxy is often useful for debugging systems over an SSH dynamic port forward.
> It is possible to do this today with some hacking by setting "zookeeper.clientCnxnSocket", but that is difficult because ClientCnxnSocket is package-private and is quite low-level.
