summary: Support for proxying of connections class: wish: This is a request for an enhancement. difficulty: tricky: Needs many tuits. present-in: 0.52 fixed-in: 0.53
Support for proxies. There are several types of proxy to consider:
SOCKS.
HTTP CONNECT style proxying (connect to the HTTP port and send
something like "CONNECT hostname.example.com:22
HTTP/1.0", then parse the HTTP return headers and go)
Simple by-hand proxy: the kind where you telnet to the firewall and
type "connect hostname.example.com 22", and then expect
a connection to begin.
We would also want the ability to define non-proxy zones (probably
give the user the choice of DNS or IP address space).
This has all been implemented in 0.53.
