socks.accelerate( )

The socks.accelerate property controls the SOCKS proxy handoff to other protocol agents.

Syntax

The default value is auto.

where:

•no—The SOCKS proxy does not hand off the transaction to another proxy agent, but tunnels the

SOCKS transaction.

•auto—The handoff is determined by the URL scheme.

Any other value forces the SOCKS proxy to hand off the transaction to the agent for the indicated

protocol.

The socks.accelerated= condition can be used to test which agent was selected for handoff. The

tunneled= condition can be used to test for unaccelerated (tunneled) SOCKS transactions.

After the handoff, the transaction is subject to policy as a proxy transaction for the appropriate

protocol. Within that policy, the socks= condition can be used to test for transactions use SOCKS for

client communication.
