The requests can be sent via an HTTP proxy if so desired. + +This can be useful for users behind restrictive firewalls. If WWW +access is allowed through an HTTP proxy, it's possible to use +httptunnel and, say, telnet or PPP to connect to a computer outside +the firewall. + +If you still don't understand what this is all about, maybe you +can find some useful information in the FAQ file. + +This program is mostly intended for technically oriented users. +They should know what to do. + +httptunnel is free software.
