 Description   

i am using quickfixj to connect with target URL using proxy , the proxy protocol is socks ,
after checked with our proxy team , they said the destination URL (SocketConnectHost) is not passed to proxy , which means not send url to which proxy need to connect .

below is my quickfixj configure sample:

ProxyType=socks
ProxyHost=*************
ProxyPort=1080
ProxyVersion=5

SocketConnectHost=********
SocketConnectPort=******

Did you try with a newer version? 1.6.4 is rather old and there have been proxy related fixes in the last versions.

The issue seems like IoSessionInitiator(https://github.com/quickfix-j/quickfixj/blob/a404c8e1c355fbfd95439cb1aa86b5685f543ddd/quickfixj-core/src/main/java/quickfix/mina/initiator/IoSessionInitiator.java#L170) initializes proxy connection with InetSocketAddress instead of hostname. This requires proxy white listing to be done for IP than hostnames.

Mina supports creating proxy Connection with hostname. IoSessionInitiator needs to be modified to make use of that.
