Hi

 Some time ago, there was a question about a SocketFactory for sockets in
HttpBasicConnection. And the answer was about a ClientSocketFactory for
sockets used by clients which use "Jigsaw as an Webserver".
 I think, the original question was about using "Jigsaw as a Proxy" or even
as a foundation of a webbrowser. (which should be possible according to the
documentation).
 So as the ingoing sockets in Jigsaw are very easy to be customized
(Jigsaw-SSL to be mentioned) there is no way, besides editing the Jigsaw
sources, to have a similar behaviour for outgoing connections (as used in a
proxy).

And now to my question:
 Is this likely to be changed in an upcoming stable release of Jigsaw this
year? Is there a chance to have a factory for customized outgoing sockets?

Regards,
  Thomas
