socks proxy support

This post is as a request as well as an fyi for a workaround.
Request: Please consider adding socks support for the proxy options.
Curl supports it just fine as --socks5 [proxy]:[port] instead of only allowing -x [proxy]:[port]
Workaround: If you've only got a socks proxy available to you to do updates with, you can squeeze your socks proxy string into the "Address" field by entering it as:
127.0.0.1 --socks5 127.0.0.1:8080
Once you save it, your apup.ini would look like:
[Proxy]
UseProxy=1
Address=127.0.0.1 --socks5 127.0.0.1:8080
Port=8080
UseAuthentication=0
[General]
RememberSelections=0
The Port= port is not used for the socks part, it can be anything.
What this does is passes the proxy info to curl in the following format:
curl -x 127.0.0.1:8080 --socks5 127.0.0.1:8080
So it passes BOTH options, and thereby allows you to use a socks proxy to download updates if you do not have or want to use a http proxy.
Love the product all. Continually great job, always impressed.

Good info for users of current apup.
The current code in apup2 supports socks and html proxy. Although that may change as im thinking of using a different way to download using windows api.
There are also programs that can capture an individual programs internet connections and route them to a sock server. I just don't remember what they are called atm.
