That's a terrible package name.


I agrea this can be confusing, but I was the original name

BTW, there is a duplicate ITP :

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=306268

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294943

She suggested to rename it "ssh-proxy-connect" ,
this sounds good to me, if noone is against that name I will repackage it
(check in a few days : http://rzr.online.fr/docs/contribs/debian/?M=A ) .

I am waiting sonia answers to my emails, to merge our work if needed.



I would suggest not using "ssh" in the package name. The software can be
used for many other things than just providing a clean TCP tunnel for
ssh. In fact it can be used by almost any application which needs a
clean TCP tunnel.


so, let's go for connect-proxy ?
(connect 1st, because it will show up if user search for connect command
line )

Another note: It might be worth mentioning that its HTTP-Proxy tunnel
won't work with content-inspection firewalls which will drop any
connection established by a CONNECT which do not use SSL. Many companies
use such firewalls.


I updated the manpage

A new candidate is online :

I added the close trigger in the changelog too

Are u using any messaging service ? it'll go faster
