install

SOCK VIA HTTP是通过HTTP建立通道的SOCK

This INSTALL file describes the installation procedure for both windows & linux (for unix, please follow the instructions for linux).
You can use:
- The server on linux & the client on windows (my configuration)
- The server on linux & the client on linux
- The server on windows & the client on linux
- The server on windows & the client on windows (most users will certainly do that)

Prerequisites on both server & client
-------------------------------------

You need a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
If you don't have one, install the JDK 1.3 or the JRE 1.3.
You can download it at http://www.java.sun.com
(The 1.2 versions are working too. Version 1.1.8 is working too. Olders versions not tested.
Please note that you may have font problems with JRE < 1.3).

Installation on Server
----------------------

1- Edit the file classes/socks4/initsrv.properties : THIS PART IS VERY IMPORTANT, DON'T SKIP IT OR IT WON'T WORK
2- OPTIONAL : Edit server.bat (for windows) or server.sh (for linux) to change the HTTP port (default 80).
              This is not recommended, unless you already have a web server running on port 80.
3- In a console, launch server.bat (for windows) or server.sh (for linux. You may need to do "chmod u+x server.sh" first)
4- Test it : Open a browser, go to the url http://www.yourserver.com/servlet/jhttpserver.ServletTest

PS : If you already have a webserver (as Apache), you may like to install Socks via HTTP
on a real servlet engine like Tomcat. Please refer to the tomcat documentation.

Installation on Client
----------------------

1- Edit the file classes/socks4/init.properties : THIS PART IS VERY IMPORTANT, DON'T SKIP IT OR IT WON'T WORK
2- In a console, launch client.bat (for windows) or client.sh (for linux. You may need to do "chmod u+x client.sh" first). You must be in a X window environment.
