I tried with libcurl's socks5 options and it worked fine. So it is libcurl
itself that somehow disallows transparent proxying. Nevertheless, as my
program runs in both Windows and Linux and it traditionally uses transparent
socks, it there any way to do transparent socks (the LD_LIBRARY_PATH kind,
in Linux) work with libcurl?
