+SocksiPy version 1.00
+A Python SOCKS module.
+(C) 2006 Dan-Haim. All rights reserved.
+See LICENSE file for details.
+
+
+WHAT IS A SOCKS PROXY?
+A SOCKS proxy is a proxy server at the TCP level. In other words, it acts as
+a tunnel, relaying all traffic going through it without modifying it.
+SOCKS proxies can be used to relay traffic using any network protocol that
+uses TCP.
+
+WHAT IS SOCKSIPY?
+This Python module allows you to create TCP connections through a SOCKS
+proxy without any special effort.
+
+PROXY COMPATIBILITY
+SocksiPy is compatible with three different types of proxies:
+1. SOCKS Version 4 (Socks4), including the Socks4a extension.
+2. SOCKS Version 5 (Socks5).
+3. HTTP Proxies which support tunneling using the CONNECT method.
+
+SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
+Being written in Python, SocksiPy can run on any platform that has a Python
+interpreter and TCP/IP support.
+This module has been tested with Python 2.3 and should work with greater versions
+just as well.
+
+
+INSTALLATION
+-------------
+
+Simply copy the file "socks.py" to your Python's lib/site-packages directory,
+and you're ready to go.
+
+
+USAGE
+------
+
+First load the socks module with the command:
+
+>>> import socks
+>>>
+
+The socks module provides a class called "socksocket", which is the base to
+all of the module's functionality.
+The socksocket object has the same initialization parameters as the normal socket
+object to ensure maximal compatibility, however it should be noted that socksocket
+will only function with family being AF_INET and type being SOCK_STREAM.
+Generally, it is best to initialize the socksocket object with no parameters
+
+>>> s = socks.socksocket()
+>>>
+
+The socksocket object has an interface which is very similiar to socket's (in fact
+the socksocket class is derived from socket) with a few extra methods.
+To select the proxy server you would like to use, use the setproxy method, whose
+syntax is:
+
+setproxy(proxytype, addr[, port[, rdns[, username[, password]]]])
+
+Explaination of the parameters:
+
+proxytype - The type of the proxy server. This can be one of three possible
+choices: PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS4, PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5 and PROXY_TYPE_HTTP for Socks4,
+Socks5 and HTTP servers respectively.
+
+addr - The IP address or DNS name of the proxy server.
+
+port - The port of the proxy server. Defaults to 1080 for socks and 8080 for http.
+
+rdns - This is a boolean flag than modifies the behavior regarding DNS resolving.
+If it is set to True, DNS resolving will be preformed remotely, on the server.
+If it is set to False, DNS resolving will be preformed locally. Please note that
+setting this to True with Socks4 servers actually use an extension to the protocol,
+called Socks4a, which may not be supported on all servers (Socks5 and http servers
+always support DNS). The default is True.
+
+username - For Socks5 servers, this allows simple username / password authentication
+with the server. For Socks4 servers, this parameter will be sent as the userid.
+This parameter is ignored if an HTTP server is being used. If it is not provided,
+authentication will not be used (servers may accept unauthentication requests).
+
+password - This parameter is valid only for Socks5 servers and specifies the
+respective password for the username provided.
+
+Example of usage:
+
+>>> s.setproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5,"socks.example.com")
+>>>
+
+After the setproxy method has been called, simply call the connect method with the
+traditional parameters to establish a connection through the proxy:
+
+>>> s.connect(("www.sourceforge.net",80))
+>>>
+
+Connection will take a bit longer to allow negotiation with the proxy server.
+Please note that calling connect without calling setproxy earlier will connect
+without a proxy (just like a regular socket).
+
+Errors: Any errors in the connection process will trigger exceptions. The exception
+may either be generated by the underlying socket layer or may be custom module
+exceptions, whose details follow:
+
+class ProxyError - This is a base exception class. It is not raised directly but
+rather all other exception classes raised by this module are derived from it.
+This allows an easy way to catch all proxy-related errors.
+
+class GeneralProxyError - When thrown, it indicates a problem which does not fall
+into another category. The parameter is a tuple containing an error code and a
+description of the error, from the following list:
+1 - invalid data - This error means that unexpected data has been received from
+the server. The most common reason is that the server specified as the proxy is
+not really a Socks4/Socks5/HTTP proxy, or maybe the proxy type specified is wrong.
+4 - bad proxy type - This will be raised if the type of the proxy supplied to the
+setproxy function was not PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS4/PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5/PROXY_TYPE_HTTP.
+5 - bad input - This will be raised if the connect method is called with bad input
+parameters.
+
+class Socks5AuthError - This indicates that the connection through a Socks5 server
+failed due to an authentication problem. The parameter is a tuple containing a
+code and a description message according to the following list:
+
+1 - authentication is required - This will happen if you use a Socks5 server which
+requires authentication without providing a username / password at all.
+2 - all offered authentication methods were rejected - This will happen if the proxy
+requires a special authentication method which is not supported by this module.
+3 - unknown username or invalid password - Self descriptive.
+
+class Socks5Error - This will be raised for Socks5 errors which are not related to
+authentication. The parameter is a tuple containing a code and a description of the
+error, as given by the server. The possible errors, according to the RFC are:
+
+1 - General SOCKS server failure - If for any reason the proxy server is unable to
+fulfill your request (internal server error).
+2 - connection not allowed by ruleset - If the address you're trying to connect to
+is blacklisted on the server or requires authentication.
+3 - Network unreachable - The target could not be contacted. A router on the network
+had replied with a destination net unreachable error.
+4 - Host unreachable - The target could not be contacted. A router on the network
+had replied with a destination host unreachable error.
+5 - Connection refused - The target server has actively refused the connection
+(the requested port is closed).
+6 - TTL expired - The TTL value of the SYN packet from the proxy to the target server
+has expired. This usually means that there are network problems causing the packet
+to be caught in a router-to-router "ping-pong".
+7 - Command not supported - The client has issued an invalid command. When using this
+module, this error should not occur.
+8 - Address type not supported - The client has provided an invalid address type.
+When using this module, this error should not occur.
+
+class Socks4Error - This will be raised for Socks4 errors. The parameter is a tuple
+containing a code and a description of the error, as given by the server. The
+possible error, according to the specification are:
+
+1 - Request rejected or failed - Will be raised in the event of an failure for any
+reason other then the two mentioned next.
+2 - request rejected because SOCKS server cannot connect to identd on the client -
+The Socks server had tried an ident lookup on your computer and has failed. In this
+case you should run an identd server and/or configure your firewall to allow incoming
+connections to local port 113 from the remote server.
+3 - request rejected because the client program and identd report different user-ids - 
+The Socks server had performed an ident lookup on your computer and has received a
+different userid than the one you have provided. Change your userid (through the
+username parameter of the setproxy method) to match and try again.
+
+class HTTPError - This will be raised for HTTP errors. The parameter is a tuple
+containing the HTTP status code and the description of the server.
+
+
+After establishing the connection, the object behaves like a standard socket.
+Call the close method to close the connection.
+
+In addition to the socksocket class, an additional function worth mentioning is the
+setdefaultproxy function. The parameters are the same as the setproxy method.
+This function will set default proxy settings for newly created socksocket objects,
+in which the proxy settings haven't been changed via the setproxy method.
+This is quite useful if you wish to force 3rd party modules to use a socks proxy,
+by overriding the socket object.
+For example:
+
+>>> socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5,"socks.example.com")
+>>> socket.socket = socks.socksocket
+>>> urllib.urlopen("http://www.sourceforge.net/")
+
