In all of my brief and superficial experience with Unix or Linux, the one curious and consistent thing has been that 'cd ./' (back up one directory level) has done absolutely nothing in any of them. Now I understand that, at least for bash, 'cd ./' appears to have been substituted by 'cd ..' Am...

connect-tunnel

CONNECT-TUNNEL(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					CONNECT-TUNNEL(1p)

NAME

       connect-tunnel - Create CONNECT tunnels through HTTP proxies

SYNOPSIS

       connect-tunnel [ -Lv ] [ -A user:pass ] [ -P proxy:port ]
		      [ -C controlport ] [ -T port:host:hostport ]

DESCRIPTION

       connect-tunnel sets up tunneled connections to external hosts by redirecting connections to local ports towards thoses hosts/ports through
       a HTTP proxy.

       connect-tunnel makes use of the HTTP "CONNECT" method to ask the proxy to create a tunnel to an outside server. Be aware that some proxies
       are set up to deny outside tunnels (either to ports other than 443 or outside a specified set of outside hosts).

OPTIONS

       The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes.

       -A, --proxy-authentication user:password
	   Proxy authentication information.

	   Please note that all the authentication schemes supported by "LWP::UserAgent" are supported (we use an "LWP::UserAgent" internally to
	   contact the proxy).

       -C, --control-port controlport
	   The port to which one can connect to issue control commands to connect-tunnel.

	   See "CONTROL CONNECTIONS" for more details about the available commands.

       -L, --local-only
	   Create the tunnels so that they will only listen on "localhost".  Thus, only connections originating from the machine that runs
	   connect-tunnel will be accepted.

	   That was the default behaviour in connect-tunnel version 0.02.

       -P, --proxy proxy[:port]
	   The proxy is required to connect the tunnels.  If no port is given, 8080 is used by default.

	   See also "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES".

       -T, --tunnel port:host:hostport
	   Specifies that the given port on the local host is to be forwarded to the given host and hostport on the remote side. This works by
	   allocating a socket to listen to port on the local side, and whenever a connection is made to this port, connect-tunnel forwards it to
	   the proxy (with the credentials, if required), which in turn forwards it to the final destination.

	   Note that this does not imply the use of any cryptographic system (SSL or any other). This is a simple TCP redirection. The security if
	   any, is the one provided by the protocol used to connect to the destination through connect-tunnel.

	   On Unix systems, only root can forward privileged ports.

	   Note that you can setup tunnels to multiple destinations, by using the --tunnel option several times.

       -U, --user-agent string
	   Specify User-Agent value to send in HTTP requests.  The default is to send "connect-tunnel/version".

       -v, --verbose
	   Verbose output.

	   This option can be used several times for more verbose output.

EXAMPLES

       To connect to a SSH server running on "ssh.example.com", on port 443, through the proxy "proxy.company.com", running on port 8080, use the
       following command:

	   connect-tunnel -P proxy.company.com:8080 -T 22:ssh.example.com:443

       And now point your favorite ssh client to the machine running connect-tunnel.

       You can also emulate a "standard" user-agent:

	   connect-tunnel -U "Mozilla/4.03 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.1.89 i586)"
			  -P proxy.company.com:8080 -T 22:ssh.example.com:443

       connect-tunnel can easily use your proxy credentials to connect outside:

	   connect-tunnel -U "Mozilla/4.03 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.1.89 i586)"
			  -P proxy.company.com:8080 -T 22:ssh.example.com:443
			  -A book:s3kr3t

       But if you don't want anybody else to connect to your tunnels and through the proxy with your credentials, use the --local-only option:

	connect-tunnel -U "Mozilla/4.03 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.1.89 i586)"
		       -P proxy.company.com:8080 -T 22:ssh.example.com:443
		       -A book:s3kr3t -L

       If you have several destinations, there is no need to run several instances of connect-tunnel:

	connect-tunnel -U "Mozilla/4.03 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.1.89 i586)"
		       -P proxy.company.com:8080 -A book:s3kr3t -L
		       -T 22:ssh.example.com:443
		       -T 222:ssh2.example.com:443

       But naturally, you will need to correctly set up the ports in your clients.

       Mmm, such a long command line would perfectly fit in an alias or a .BAT file. ";-)"

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The environment variable "HTTP_PROXY" can be used to provide a proxy definition.

       The environment variable is overriden by the --proxy option, if passed to connect-tunnel.

AUTHOR

       Philippe "BooK" Bruhat, "<book@cpan.org>".

       I seem to have re-invented a well-known wheel with that script, but at least, I hope I have added a few interesting options to it.

SCRIPT HISTORY

       The first version of the script was a quick hack that let me go through a corporate proxy.

       Version 0.02 and version 0.03 were released on CPAN in 2003.

       Version 0.04 sits half-finished in a CVS repository at home: I couldn't decypher the spaghetti of my data structures any more. ":-("

       Version 0.05 (and higher) are based on "Net::Proxy", and included with the "Net::Proxy" distribution.

       Even though it's not rocket science, connect-tunnel has been cited in at least one academic works:
