httptunnel creates a bi-directional virtual data connection tunnelled
|
|
in HTTP requests. The HTTP requests can be sent via an HTTP proxy
|
|
if so desired.
|
|
|
|
This can be useful for users behind restrictive firewalls. If WWW
|
|
access is allowed through a HTTP proxy, it's possible to use
|
|
httptunnel and, say, telnet or PPP to connect to a computer outside
|
|
the firewall.
|
|
|
|
httptunnel is written and maintained by Lars Brinkhoff. See the
|
|
file AUTHORS in the tarball for more information about contributors
|
|
to this package.
