 succeed, request goes out, then is aborted by SOCKS server.

 **sigh** That is a bug in the SOCKS server, too. It doesn't implement
 username/password properly. It has a configure file option to have
 usernames and passwords, but still uses auth method none instead of
 username/password.

 In Wireshark, what I send looks correct. Compare comment:21.
