# The net/httptunnel port

## httptunnel-3.3 – HTTP tunneling utility

## Description

    httptunnel creates a bidirectional virtual data path tunneled in HTTP
    requests. The requests can be sent via an HTTP proxy if so desired.

    This can be useful for users behind restrictive firewalls.  If WWW
    access is allowed through an HTTP proxy, it's possible to use
    httptunnel and, say, telnet or PPP to connect to a computer outside
    the firewall.
