title: Mac OS X socks proxy environment variable
body: <p>I know it's possible to set the socks proxy server via network app and there is a Mac specific utility to set it but I prefer to just set the socks proxy server as an environment variable if possible. Does anyone know the appropriate <code>export</code> setting?</p>
  
  <p>In case anyone is wondering this is possible for http proxy, for example, <code>export http_proxy=http://my-proxy-server:1080/</code> get picked up by the JVM as <code>http.proxyPort=1080</code> and <code>http.proxyHost=my-proxy-server</code>. When passed as Mac system level setting, socks proxy is seen as <code>socksProxyHost=my-socks-proxy-server</code> but I can't determine the equivalent environment variable name.</p>
