A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Tunneling TCP based protocols through Web proxy servers Author(s) : A. Luotonen Filename : draft-luotonen-web-proxy-tunneling-01.txt Pages : 9 Date : 27-Aug-98 This document specifies a generic tunneling mechanism for TCP based protocols through Web proxy servers. This tunneling mechanism was initially introduced for the SSL protocol [SSL] to allow secure Web traffic to pass through firewalls, but its utility is not limited to SSL. Earlier drafts of this specification were titled 'Tunneling SSL through Web Proxy Servers' <draft-luotonen-ssl-tunneling-XX.txt>. Implementations of this tunneling feature are commonly referred to as 'SSL tunneling', although, again, it can be used for tunneling any TCP based protocol. A wide variety of existing client and proxy server implementations conform to this specification. The purpose of this specification is to describe the current practice, to propose some good practices for implementing this specification, and to document the security considerations that are involved with this protocol.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-luotonen-web-proxy-tunneling-01.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
