Tunnel tcp connections through http proxies
corkscrew PROXY PROXYPORT TARGETHOST TARGETPORT [AUTH_FILE]
corkscrew is a simple tool to tunnel \s-1TCP\s0 connections through an \s-1HTTP\s0 proxy supporting the \s-1CONNECT\s0 method. It reads stdin and writes to std- out during the connection, just like netcat. It can be used for instance to connect to an \s-1SSH\s0 server running on a remote 443 port through a strict \s-1HTTPS\s0 proxy.
The name of the host running the \s-1HTTP\s0 proxy.
The port on which to connect on the proxy.
The host to reach through the proxy.
The port to connect to on the target host.
The auth file is made of one single line containing your username and password in the form username:password
None.
The common usage of corkscrew is to put the following line in ~/.ssh/ssh_config:
ProxyCommand corkscrew proxy proxyport %h %p [<path to auth_file>]
This will let the ssh connection go through the proxy with the help of corkscrew.
None.
None.
