ssh-http-proxy-connect - Secure Shell proxy for HTTP
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-http-proxy-connect [-h http_proxy_host] [-p
http_proxy_port] connect_hostconnect_port
DESCRIPTION
A proxy command for ssh(1) that uses HTTP CONNECT. Typical
use is where connections external to a network are only
allowed via a proxy web server.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-h http_proxy_host Specifies the proxy web server
through which to connect. Overrides
the HTTPPROXY and http_proxy
environment variables if they are
set.
-p http_proxy_port Specifies the port on which the
proxy web server runs. If not speci-
fied, port 80 is assumed. Overrides
the HTTPPROXYPORT and http_proxy
environment variables if they are
set.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
http_proxy_host The host name or IP address (IPv4 or
IPv6) of the proxy.
http_proxy_port The numeric port number to connect
to on http_proxy_host.
connect_host The name of the remote host to which
the proxy web server is to connect
you.

web server to connect you to on
http_proxy_host.
EXAMPLES
The recommended way to use a proxy connection command is to
configure the ProxyCommand in ssh_config(4) (see Example 1
and Example 2). Example 3 shows how the proxy command can be
specified on the command line when running ssh(1).
Example 1: Setting the proxy from the environment
The following example uses ssh-http-proxy-connect in
ssh_config(4) when the proxy is set from the environment:
Host playtime.foo.com
ProxyCommand /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-http-proxy-connect \
playtime.foo.com 22
Example 2: Overriding proxy environment variables
The following example uses ssh-http-proxy-connect in
ssh_config(4) to override (or if not set) proxy environment
variables:
Host playtime.foo.com
ProxyCommand /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-http-proxy-connect -h webcache \
-p 8080 playtime.foo.com 22
Example 3: Using the command line
The following example uses ssh-http-proxy-connect from the
ssh(1) command line:
example$ ssh -o'ProxyCommand="/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-http-proxy-connect \
-h webcache -p 8080 playtime.foo.com 22"' playtime.foo.com
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
HTTPPROXY Takes the http_proxy_host operand to
specify the default proxy host.
Overrides http_proxy if both are
set.
HTTPPROXYPORT Takes the http_proxy_port operand to
specify the default proxy port.
Ignored if HTTPPROXY is not set.
