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. |
