NAME

htc - httptunnel client

SYNOPSIS

htc [options] host[:port]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page briefly documents the htc command.

htc sets up a httptunnel connection to PORT at HOST (default port is 8888). When a connection is made, I/O is redirected from the source specified by the --device, --forward-port or --stdin-stdout switch to the tunnel.

OPTIONS

The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (‘-’). A summary of options are included below.
-h, --help

Show summary of options.

-c, --content-length BYTES

use HTTP PUT requests of BYTES size (k, M, and G postfixes recognized)

-d, --device DEVICE

use DEVICE for input and output

-F, --forward-port PORT

use TCP port PORT for input and output

-k, --keep-alive SECONDS

send keepalive bytes every SECONDS seconds (default is 5)

-M, --max-connection-age SEC

maximum time a connection will stay open is SEC seconds (default is 300)

-S, --strict-content-length

always write Content-Length bytes in requests

-A, --proxy-authorization USER:PASSWORD

proxy authorization

-z, --proxy-authorization-file FILE

proxy authorization file

-B, --proxy-buffer-size BYTES

assume a proxy buffer size of BYTES bytes (k, M, and G postfixes recognized)

-P, --proxy HOSTNAME[:PORT]

use a HTTP proxy (default port is 8080)

-s, --stdin-stdout

use stdin/stdout for communication (implies --no-daemon)

-T, --timeout TIME

timeout, in milliseconds, before sending padding to a buffering proxy

-U, --user-agent STRING

specify User-Agent value in HTTP requests

-R, --base-uri STRING

specify a base URI value for all HTTP requests (default base URI is "/index.html?crap=")

-V, --version

output version information and exit

-w, --no-daemon

don’t fork into the background

EXAMPLES

Start httptunnel server

hts -F localhost:22 8888 Aat host REMOTE, set up httptunnel server to listen on port 8888 and forward to localhost:22

Start httptunnel client

htc -F 2222 -P PROXY_ADDRESS:8000 REMOTE_IP:8888 At host LOCAL, set up httptunnel client to forward localhost:2222 to REMOTE_IP:8888 via a local proxy at PROXY_ADDRESS:8000

Or, if using a buffering HTTP proxy

htc -F 2222 -P PROXY_ADDRESS:8000 -B 48K REMOTE_IP:8888

Now you can connect through the tunnel on host LOCAL

ssh ssh://localhost:2222
