All your HTTP(S) traffic is encapsulated into SOCKS
=09https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS

With HTTP(S) proxies, you can only proxying HTTP(S) protocol, and not r=

socket.

Tor doesn=E2=80=99t really use SOCKS internaly, it only provide a SOCKS=
 proxy server=20
to allow applications to communicate with the Tor network without modif=
ication=20
(provided it supports SOCKS proxy).

torsocks just replace standard TCP stack with a fake one (encapsulating=
 TCP=20
socket into a =C2=AB SOCKS socket =C2=BB) for application not supportin=
g SOCKS proxy=20
natively.
