The version of netcat that is in fedora now has a bug where it refuses to
connect to proxies that return "HTTP/1.1 200" messages (it only accepts
("HTTP/1.0 200" as valid).  I discovered this bug when attempting to ssh out
through a web proxy using openssh's ProxyCommand directive like this:

ProxyCommand = /usr/bin/nc -X connect -x proxy:8080 %h %p

Looking at the OpenBSD repository it looks like socks.c was patched to fix this
over 2 years ago.  Would be nice if this change got pulled down into the Fedora
package.
