socks.accelerate( )
The socks.accelerate property controls the SOCKS proxy handoff to other protocol agents.
Syntax
socks.accelerate(no|auto|http|aol_im|msn_im|yahoo_im)
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.
