.SH NOTES
To use this program with OpenSSH to connect to a host somewhere, create
a $HOME/.ssh/config file with the following content:
Host foobar
.br
ProtocolKeepAlives 30
.br
ProxyCommand /usr/bin/proxytunnel -p proxy.customer.com:8080 -u user
-s password -d mybox.athome.nl:443
If your proxy doesn't require the username and password for using it,
you can skip these options.
If you want to run proxytunnel from inetd add the '--inetd' option.
Most HTTPS proxies do not allow access to ports other than 443 (HTTPS)
and 563 (SNEWS), so some hacking is necessary to start the SSH daemon on
the required port. (On the server side add an extra Port statement in
the sshd_config file)
