>   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.
