NAME

6       corkscrew - Tunnel TCP connections through HTTP proxies
7

SYNOPSIS

9       corkscrew  proxy  proxyport  targethost  targetport  [ authfile ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  manual page documents briefly the corkscrew command.  This manual
13       page was written for the Debian distribution because the original  pro‐
14       gram does not have a manual page.
15
16       corkscrew  is  a  simple tool to tunnel TCP connections through an HTTP
17       proxy supporting the CONNECT method. It reads stdin and writes to  std‐
18       out  during  the  connection,  just  like  netcat.   It can be used for
19       instance to connect to an SSH server  running  on  a  remote  443  port
20       through a strict HTTPS proxy.

COMMON USAGE

37       The  common  usage  of  corkscrew  is to put the following line in your
38       ssh_config:
39
40       ProxyCommand corkscrew proxy proxyport %h %p
41
42       This will let your ssh connection go through the proxy with the help of
43       corkscrew.

45

AUTH FILE

47       The  auth  file is made of one single line containing your username and
48       password in the form:
49
50       username:password
51
52       You should add the  path  to  your  auth  file  in  the  proxy  command
53       described above:
54
55       ProxyCommand corkscrew proxy proxyport %h %p auth-file
