The variable <code>socksParentProxy</code> specifies the hostname and port
number of a SOCKS parent proxy; it should have the form
‘<samp><span class="samp">host:port</span></samp>’. The variant of the SOCKS protocol being used is
defined by <code>socksProxyType</code>, which can be either ‘<samp><span class="samp">socks4a</span></samp>’
or ‘<samp><span class="samp">socks5</span></samp>’; the latter value specifies “SOCKS5 with
hostnames”, and is the default.
<p>The user name passed to the SOCKS4a proxy is defined by the variable
<code>socksUserName</code>. This value is currently ignored with a
SOCKS5 proxy.
<p>The main application of the SOCKS support is to use
<a href="http://tor.eff.org">Tor</a> to evade overly restrictive or
misconfigured firewalls. Assuming you have a Tor client running on
the local host listening on the default port (9050), the following
uses Tor for all outgoing HTTP traffic:
<pre class="example"> $ polipo socksParentProxy=localhost:9050
</pre>
