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. |
