  Description     : tunnel SSH/TCP connection through SOCKS and HTTP(S) proxies

>From developer's site:

  $ cat ~/.ssh/config
  Host home
    ProxyCommand connect -H firewall:8080 %h 443

  usage:  connect [-dnhst45] [-R resolve] [-p local-port] [-w sec]
                [-H [user@]proxy-server[:port]]
                [-S [user@]socks-server[:port]]
                [-T socks-server:[port]]

   Connect 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 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.                                                  
     * Run on UNIX or Windows platform.
     * You can compile with various C compiler (cc, gcc, Visual C,
       Borland C. etc.)                                           
     * Simple and general program independent from OpenSSH.
     * You can also relay local socket stream instead of standard
       I/O.
