Working under https-proxy

1. SSH over http proxy

for Fedora:

#yum install connect-proxy

then configure ~/.ssh/config

Host 202.190.*.*

ProxyCommand connect-proxy -H proxy.corp.com:80 %h %p

ServerAliveInterval 30

then you can ssh user@202.194.1.2 now

For Solaris 11, you just need to configure your ssh config.

HOST 202.190.*.*

ProxyCommand /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-http-proxy-connect -h proxy.corp.com -p 80 %h %p

1. IMAP/SMTP over http proxy

Download http://proxytunnel.sourceforge.net/ and then compile it

copy the binary file to somewhere such as /usr/local/bin

then run the following

#proxytunnel -a 993 -p proxy.corp.com:80 -d imap.gmail.com:993 &

#proxytunnel -a 465 -p proxy.corp.com:80 -d smtp.gmail.com:465 &
