The use of network firewalls, systems that effectively isolate an 
organizations internal network structure from an exterior network, such as 
the INTERNET is becoming increasingly popular. These firewall systems 
typically act as application-layer gateways between networks, usually 
offering controlled TELNET, FTP, and SMTP access. With the emergence of 
more sophisticated application layer protocols designed to facilitate 
global information discovery, there exists a need to provide a general 
framework for these protocols to transparently and securely traverse a 
firewall.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-aft-socks-protocol-v5-03.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
For questions, please mail to [e-mail].
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
