running and building tests

The tests for SOCKS and HTTP proxy relies on delegate being installed to set up test proxies. This document outlines the requirements of the tests as well as describes how to set up your environment to be able to run them.

delegate

Delegate can act as many different proxies, which makes it a convenient tool to use to test libtorrent's support for SOCKS4, SOCKS5, HTTPS and HTTP proxies.

You can download prebuilt binaries for the most common platforms on deletate's download page. Make sure to name the executable delegated and put it in a place where a shell can pick it up, in its PATH. For instance /bin.
