[opensource-dev] Request for review/testing Socks 5 support for viewer-development (VWR-20801)

[Scruffy]

Hi Robin,

It would be great if you could fix this (
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SNOW-822) at the same time.  I use SL
through an authenticated web proxy and apart from that issue it works great.
