How can I allow a program, which only supports talking through a HTTP proxy, to talk through a SOCKS proxy? In other words, take the HTTP-proxy request and turn it into a SOCKS-proxy request which gets forwarded to the SOCKS proxy, and pass the returned data back to the program through the HTTP proxy.

I need a solution that works on Debian Linux, preferably using software that is prepackaged in Debian's main repository.

The chain of communications would be: My program -> HTTP proxy (local) -> SOCKS proxy (local) -> External access

I found a handful of questions about doing it the other way around (a SOCKS proxy forwarding to a HTTP proxy), but that doesn't help me.

Debian Linux: How can I expose a SOCKS proxy as a HTTP proxy for the purpose of HTTP/HTTPS requests?
