Description:
--
connect-proxy is the simple relaying command to make network connection via
SOCKS and https proxy. It is mainly intended to be used as proxy command
of OpenSSH. You can make SSH session beyond the firewall with this command.

Features of connect-proxy are:

    * Supports SOCKS (version 4/4a/5) and https CONNECT method.
    * Supports NO-AUTH and USERPASS authentication of SOCKS
    * Partially supports telnet proxy (experimental).
    * You can input password from tty, ssh-askpass or environment variable.
    * Simple and general program independent from OpenSSH.
    * You can also relay local socket stream instead of standard I/O.

Note that the upstream name is simply "connect", but this has been packaged for Red Hat/Fedora (by me) and Debian (by someone else before me) already as connect-proxy, so maintaining this name is in line with the package naming guidelines.

I've pinged upstream to see about having a license file included, as well as the man page and Makefile I snarfed from the Debian package.
