Comment (by junglefowl):
addrlen is already increased by 1 to contain the ending \0 character in
the string. When its value is assigned to the unsigned char in the data
packet, it is subtracted by one:
(*out)[ 4 ] = (char)(uint8_t)(addrlen - 1);
Due to this, i chose to cap at addrlen > 256 because 256-1=255 can still
be properly put into the length byte. The ending \0 is not needed in the
protocol, otherwise google.commm[...] would have been parsed by the remote
peer.
I could reduce the constant to 255. As yawning pointed out, the DNS lookup
of the remote peer would fail anyway, but I prefer to support as much as
the SOCKS5 protocol offers.
