Dear Maintainer,

a package I am maintaining (src:seafile) started depending on
available SOCKS proxying support in libwebsockets.
From glancing at
https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/blob/c5e00391bbbfe9de87db2a37da85c03fd25054a7/CMakeLists-
implied-options.txt#L100,
I think that enabling -DLWS_WITH_SOCKS5=ON should simply be
enough to enable this without requiring additional
dependencies etc.

Thanks,
Moritz

Hi Moritz,
 Thanks, I plan to build with SOCKS5 proxy support. Unfortunately 4.3
FTBFS with this option. There's a new major upstream version 5.0.0
which I'm getting ready. This build with SOCKS5 proxy support,
however, is still a work in progress. If you would like to check it
out until the real upload, you can get the current status [1]. Please
note due to some networking self-testing, it does not build in a
sandbox environment with tests enabled. I will need to disable those
tests.

Regards,
Laszlo/GCS
