Read the "CONNECT" part on page 5
I can make a really stupid socks5 server that just says, hey, just to connect to the channels web server
don't actually need to relay anything
sub-2k rfc: opportunity or threat?
opportunity
the plan is we create a browser plugin that directs any traffic to *.http://snowblossom.io to a sock5 proxy
which would in fact be a channels node
which in turn directs the traffic to the channels node web port
this way, we get different host names for each channel
which makes the javascript security world a bit easier
and it lets people run their channels node on the same machine, elsewhere on the local network or even remotely
the cool part is after sending the sock5 redirect message, we are done
