Description-en: tunnel TCP connections through HTTP proxies
corkscrew is a simple tool to tunnel TCP connections through an HTTP
proxy supporting the CONNECT method. It reads stdin and writes to
stdout during the connection, just like netcat.
.
It can be used for instance to connect to an SSH server running on
a remote 443 port through a strict HTTPS proxy.
