Any TCP protocol can be tunneled over a HTTP proxy by abusing the CONNECT method provided the client can wrap it's connection into a HTTP CONNECT request to the proxy. This is not liked by HTTP proxy developers due to the rather nasty security implications of overloading the CONNECT method with additional uses. If you really want "generic" TCP proxying you should look into using a SOCKS proxy in addition to Squid. Squid, for HTTP proxying and caching, including SSL access by browsers to keep things simple. SOCKS, for proxying of other protocols such as SSH, POP-3, IMAP, ICQ, IRC, etc etc... Regards Henrik
