Description-en: tunnel TCP traffic through a HTTP proxy
Browsers (in general HTTP clients) use HTTP proxies to request web pages. The
proxy forwards those request to the destination server. All
the negotiation is done via the HTTP protocol, which is designed just
to carry HTTP requests and no generic (TCP/IP) traffic. That is why you
can't (normally) use Internet applications beside your browser if
you are behind a HTTP proxy.
.
That is what desproxy is good for. Desproxy is a TCP tunnel, which
means desproxy can forward TCP/IP traffic via a HTTP proxy. Desproxy
uses a HTTP/1.1 method (CONNECT) to establish TCP/IP connections on
demand. CONNECT is used for SSL connections when accessing to secure
sites. So if you can access sites that support SSL (www.hotmail.com for
example) you can use desproxy.
