support for proxy command #637

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be nice if transgui supports, in addition to HTTP and SOCKS proxies, 
an arbitrary command which input and output streams are used for HTTP traffic 
instead of a TCP socket. This allows a simple usage of ssh to connect to the 
remote server with the following proxy command:

ssh -W localhost:9091 user@remote-server

where -W option connects ssh input/ouput to the socket on the remote host.

Currently to support such ssh redirect I have to use an extra script that 
forwards a local port to the server using the -L option to ssh. However, 
besides inconvenience of running an external script, this opens the forwarded 
port for access by any process running on the system. This is not good on a 
multiuser system (like a family laptop with several accounts).

A command as a proxy can also allow to extend transgui with exotic proxy setups 
without changing transgui sources or increasing GUI complexity.
