hi, before i try and do all the legwork on this one, i just wanted to check that no-one had a prerolled solution to this one:
i'm trying to let myself connect to my linux box from work through our Apache proxy's https tunneling. i've set up a port redirector that points port 443 on the box to 22, so the acl on the proxy will think that it's going to a ssl site. ssh accepts a config file option ProxyCommand which it runs, and reads from and writes to via STDIN/OUT as if it were the remote socket -- this lets you do the CONNECT command. unfortunately, the obvious 'echo -e "CONNECT 88.NET:443 HTTP/1.0\n\n" | nc proxyserver 8080' doesn't work because the first line that comes back is the CONNECT string from the proxy, after which I see the SSH server announce itself. the ssh client doesn't like seeing anything but the sshd at the other end. so, I just need to soak up the string from the proxy and everything would be fine and dandy. i guess i would want perl for it probably -- i guess an ideal mini-server would: -listen on a local port -connect to the proxy -send the connect string -ignore the first line that comes back -connect the socket to STDIN/OUT and loop in a stupid fashion until a socket closes. hopefully someone has done this already. if not, i might even become a maintainer and package it when it works. cheers, -thomas ...... please forgive my abrupt ending hre - but my conection is xtrememleyyhiclmelyey BAD hiccuppy etc must sign off - EF D8 33 68 B3 E3 E9 D2 C1 3E 51 22 8A AA 7B 98 umbra (!)
