Comment(by neena):

 Replying to [comment:3 robinson]:
 > I'll start with your work, Ravi.  Is there a particular reason you chose
 SOCKS4a over SOCKS5?

 SOCKS4a was much simpler to implement. And, I just needed this to avoid
 pulling in Socksipy as a dependency. It seemed sufficient at that time.
 Given, the only real benefit from SOCKS5 here (afaict), would be IPv6
 support.

 If you do need it, having this negotiate SOCKS5 would be great.
