This link "Why SOCKS?" has the answer>
Just wanted to comment on the "Application-independent proxy" aspect. Once SOCKS client gets authenticated with SOCKS Proxy Server, and communication channel is established it can relay any Application data type. No extra code is required.
This is because SOCKS client works between Application layer and Transport layer, and it does not do anything which is application specific. Based on the encryption and encapsulation techniques selected, it will encode the data and send accordingly!
