NAME

       htc - httptunnel client

SYNOPSIS

       htc [options] host[:port]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page briefly documents the htc command.

       htc  sets  up  a  httptunnel  connection  to  PORT at HOST (default port is 8888).  When a
       connection is made,  I/O  is  redirected  from  the  source  specified  by  the  --device,
       --forward-port or --stdin-stdout switch to the tunnel.

OPTIONS

       The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two
       dashes (`-').  A summary of options are included below.

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

       -c, --content-length BYTES
              use HTTP PUT requests of BYTES size (k, M, and G postfixes recognized)

       -d, --device DEVICE
              use DEVICE for input and output

       -F, --forward-port PORT
              use TCP port PORT for input and output

       -k, --keep-alive SECONDS
              send keepalive bytes every SECONDS seconds (default is 5)

       -M, --max-connection-age SEC
              maximum time a connection will stay open is SEC seconds (default is 300)

       -S, --strict-content-length
              always write Content-Length bytes in requests

       -A, --proxy-authorization USER:PASSWORD
              proxy authorization

       -z, --proxy-authorization-file FILE
              proxy authorization file

       -B, --proxy-buffer-size BYTES
              assume a proxy buffer size of BYTES bytes (k, M, and G postfixes recognized)

       -P, --proxy HOSTNAME[:PORT]
              use a HTTP proxy (default port is 8080)

       -s, --stdin-stdout
              use stdin/stdout for communication (implies --no-daemon)

       -T, --timeout TIME
              timeout, in milliseconds, before sending padding to a buffering proxy

       -U, --user-agent STRING
              specify User-Agent value in HTTP requests

       -R, --base-uri STRING
              specify  a  base  URI  value  for  all  HTTP  requests   (default   base   URI   is
              "/index.html?crap=")

       -V, --version
              output version information and exit

       -w, --no-daemon
              don't fork into the background

EXAMPLES

       Start httptunnel server
              hts  -F  localhost:22  8888  Aat host REMOTE, set up httptunnel server to listen on
              port 8888 and forward to localhost:22

       Start httptunnel client
              htc -F 2222 -P PROXY_ADDRESS:8000 REMOTE_IP:8888 At host LOCAL, set  up  httptunnel
              client   to   forward  localhost:2222  to  REMOTE_IP:8888  via  a  local  proxy  at
              PROXY_ADDRESS:8000

       Or, if using a buffering HTTP proxy
              htc -F 2222 -P PROXY_ADDRESS:8000 -B 48K REMOTE_IP:8888

       Now you can connect through the tunnel on host LOCAL
              ssh ssh://localhost:2222
