Comment 8 for bug 243578

In looking at the directory/xpcom code, it looks to me like the code in
nsLDAPSecurityGlue.cpp does a lot of what would need to be done to support socks
(it "overrides" some of the libldap TCP I/O functions to make SSL work). I
wonder if socks works with LDAP if you use a secure (SSL) connection today?
