Technical note:10021

Product:Netscape Navigator

Netscape Navigator supports version 4 of the SOCKS protocol, as defined
by the "socks.cstc.4.1" implementation.
To set up Netscape Navigator to use SOCKS, go into the "Proxies" section
of the Netscape Preferences and enter the address and port number of
your SOCKS host.  You may need to quit and restart Netscape Navigator
after setting this.
A limitation to watch out for in the current implementation is that
Netscape Navigator does not understand the "@" syntax present in some
SOCKS configuration files, so make sure that your SOCKS configuration
files do not use it.
