Comment:

 I think Yawning has a patch for SOCKS support that uses
 [https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/net/proxy golang.org/x/net/proxy].

 I wasn't inclined to merge it just for feature creep reasons, and because
 I'm skeptical of the use of naked meek-client (without a TLS camouflage
 helper) anyway. The TLS fingerprint is probably the lowest-hanging fruit
 when a censor decides to start targeting the system.

 But I know for testing that you want to check whether something will work,
 so for that I would recommend Yawning's patch. And maybe I'll include the
 patch if it really saves a lot of effort.
