HTTPTunnel 1.2.1 (Default branch)

HTTPTunnel is a simple client/server application for creating an HTTP tunnel between two machines, optionally via a Web proxy. This tunnel can then be used to wrap arbitrary TCP socket traffic in HTTP, thus allowing communications even through a restrictive firewall that only allows outgoing HTTP connections. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
The HTTPTunnel code is now based on a reusable HTTP tunneling library (libhttptun, included in this source archive). This release includes improvements for tunneling high bandwidth connections, plus the usual minor bugfixes.Image

NAME
CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL - tunnel through HTTP proxy SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, long tunnel); DESCRIPTION
Set the parameter to 1 to make libcurl tunnel all operations through the HTTP proxy. There is a big difference between using a proxy and to tunnel through it. If you don't know what this means, you probably don't want this tunneling option. Tunneling essentially means that a CONNECT is sent to the proxy, asking it to connect to a remote host on a specific port number and then the traffic is just passed through the proxy. Proxies tend to whitelist specific port numbers it allows CONNECT requests to and often only port 80 and 443 are allowed. When using this, it only makes sense to use CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE(3) set to a HTTP proxy. To suppress proxy CONNECT response headers from user callbacks use CURLOPT_SUPPRESS_CONNECT_HEADERS(3). DEFAULT
