+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.
