NAME

       corkscrew - Tunnel TCP connections through HTTP proxies

SYNOPSIS

         corkscrew  PROXY PROXYPORT TARGETHOST TARGETPORT [AUTH_FILE]

DESCRIPTION

       corkscrew is a simple tool to tunnel TCP connections through an HTTP proxy supporting the
       CONNECT 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 SSH server running on a remote 443
       port through a strict HTTPS proxy.

       PROXY
           The name of the host running the HTTP proxy.

       PROXYPORT
           The port on which to connect on the proxy.

       TARGET
           The host to reach through the proxy.

       TARGETPORT
           The port to connect to on the target host.

       AUTH_ FILE
           The  auth  file is made of one single line containing your username and password in
           the form

               username:password

OPTIONS

       None.

EXAMPLES

       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.

ENVIRONMENT

       None.

FILES

       None.
