Your question is a bit vague, but I'll try to answer it anyway.
If found these links that might help you:
- A C++ socket library - Includes an sample of a Web Proxy
- Another C++ socket library - Includes also an example of Proxy
Using the SOCKS RFC and the cited links, you might be able to create a SOCKS proxy.
I don't like posting links as an answer but since you don't clearly state what you want to achieve, I can't really be more accurate...

@Navin: Yet 4 people upvoted it and the OP accepted it. It may be useless to you and your particular problem though, in which case I encourage you to post your own specific question (with hopefuly more details than this one). – ereOn Jul 14 '15 at 19:46

I'm using boost's SOCKS client. I barked at your answer because it literally links socket libraries and the SOCKS RFC. I mean, if someone wanted to implement the RFC themselves, they wouldn't come here for links! – Navin Jul 14 '15 at 22:07

@Navin I was once given a similar answer and implemented a RFC myself. You may consider it useless because you would have liked a "copy-paste" type of answer. Fortunately, some people still want to understand what they do and how things work and reading a RFC can give many clues on how to best solve the problem. Also, if you are so dissatisfied by my answer, why don't you give a better one ? I'd be happy to upvote it. – ereOn Jul 15 '15 at 13:22

12You don't need to sign your answers, especially when you have a nickname that can be confusing in a C++ answer ! I spent 5 seconds to figure out what was "0xDEAD BEEF" doing here until i realized it was your nickname ;) – ereOn May 11 '10 at 09:56
