NAME
httppc - HTTP proxy client

SYNOPSIS
tcpclient proxy-host proxy-port httppc host port program [arguments]

DESCRIPTION
The httppc utility is an HTTP proxy handler for a UCSPI execchain. It communicates with tcpclient over pipes with filedescriptor 6 and 7. tcpclient connects to an HTTP proxy and delegates the further protocol handling to httppc. httppc talks with the HTTP proxy and initiates a TCP connection to host with port. After the connection initiation httppc executes program with arguments.
