https proxy? yay for man-in-the-middle fun! http tunnel might be more useful. I used to operate one end of such a tunnel for one of the fine gents in this august forum, and could set it up again. It works just fine through http proxies. The usual way of working is to run ssh through the http tunnel, and then whatever the hell you want through ssh. Of course, it's *not* fool-proof, as the large number of HTTP POSTs coming from your workstation will be, errm, noteworthy, to your local security wookie. -- Lord Protector David Cantrell | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david When a woman has a man on a string, controlling his every thought and motion, backbone in said man is not a requirement. -- Ken, in alt.2eggs.sausage.beans.tomatoes.2toast.largetea.cheerslove
