JDK 1.5
public Socket(Proxy proxy)

Creates an unconnected socket, specifying the type of proxy, if any, that should be used regardless of any other settings.

If there is a security manager, its checkConnect method is called with the proxy host address and port number as its arguments. This could result in a SecurityException.

Examples:
* Socket s = new Socket(Proxy.NO_PROXY); will create a plain socket ignoring any other proxy configuration.
* Socket s = new Socket(new Proxy(Proxy.Type.SOCKS, new InetSocketAddress("socks.mydom.com", 1080))); will create a socket connecting through the specified SOCKS proxy server.

Parameters:
proxy - a Proxy object specifying what kind of proxying should be used.
