Invalid SOCKS5 address type

[gwen hastings]

Hi all,
I desperately need clues for the clueless(moi)(beginning rubyist)

osx version is 10.5.7 ruby version is ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel
287) [universal-darwin9.0] irb 0.9.5(05/04/13)

I also have nylon(socks4 and sock5) daemon running localhost or
variably a ssh -D session or otrproxy(http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/)
all give the same results for trying to connect_domain.
$ irb

require 'rubygems'

=> false

require 'xmpp4r-simple'

=> true

require 'xmpp4r/bytestreams'

=> true

require 'socket'

=> false

proxy = Jabber::Bytestreams::SOCKS5Socket.new('127.0.0.1','1080')

=> #<Jabber::Bytestreams::SOCKS5Socket:0x11cea34>

proxy.connect_domain('shannon.permutation.net',5222)

Jabber::SOCKS5Error: Invalid SOCKS5 address type
from
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/xmpp4r-0.5/lib/xmpp4r/bytestreams/helper/socks5bytestreams/socks5.rb:58:in
`connect_domain'
from (irb):6



any hints?

Hmm, try 1080 instead of '1080' perhaps?

Strange, looks like buf[3] is nil, but it can't be because there was a
read(4) earlier. You're not using ruby 1.9 with 1.8 gems by any chance?

Maybe you could get a better error message by changing that line to

raise SOCKS5Error.new("Invalid SOCKS5 address type #{buf[3,1].inspect}")
