I am trying to get an HTTP request through a private Tor network that I have setup using tunneling with socat.
In a private Tor network (10.0.0.216/29) I have relays setup on my servers 218 and 221 through which I am manually creating a circuit (218 -> 221). I have Apache running on 222 and hope to load the default page through a connected client.
I take 217 as a client and after creating the circuit, I use the following command:
curl --socks4a localhost:9050 10.0.0.222
This works successfully. Then I try to create a bidirectional tunnel using socat by the following command
socat TCP-LISTEN:9000 SOCKS4A:127.0.0.1:10.0.0.222:80,socksport=9050 &
And I try to access the same resource using curl -v localhost:9000 but there is no response. The verbose output:
* Rebuilt URL to: localhost:9000/
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
* Trying 127.0.0.1...
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 9000 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.35.0
> Host: localhost:9000
> Accept: */*
>
The connection times out after some time. Here is the clause that continuously is repeated in the info.log debug log file.

Any help is appreciated.
PS: I am trying to use socat as torify and torsocks do not seem to work for connections having a local DNS address resolution.
