Proxy support

[Mihara]

So I've been trying to set up torrentinim, and bumped into a problem: A bunch of tracker sites are banned around here and thus inaccessible. Of course, I have circumvention methods, but they're primarily a SOCKS proxy.

So I tried to run torrentinim through tsocks. Getting tsocks to work at all took some time, but I'm definite it is working:

$ TSOCKS_CONF_FILE=/xxx/etc/tsocks.conf tsocks wget -qO - https://www.showmemyip.com/ | grep "<title>"
                <title>Show Me My IP! - Your IP address is: xx.xx.xx.xx</title>

But when I try to run torrentinim under tsocks, this happens:

$ TSOCKS_CONF_FILE=/xxx/etc/tsocks.conf tsocks torrentinim

And it just loops infinitely.

Is there any hope of native proxy support? Failing that, any ideas why it's not working?

@Mihara I am not sure if Nim's httpclient supports tsocks. I'm going to ask around and see what I can find. The error you see suggest that Torrentinim's crawlers can't connect to the endpoint urls.
