Trigger execution of commands in a terminal (for ssh tunneling, etc.) #236

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be nice if we could set proxy rules that would automatically trigger 
execution of terminal commands.

Why? I've been traveling lately and have found myself explaining the benefits 
of using encrypted proxies to other travelers. Lots of them are n00bs, though, 
and the out-of-browser steps scare them. It'd be nice if we - and by "we" I 
mean "everyone using encrypted proxies" - never had to leave the browser to set 
up a tunnel. You wouldn't want to try to implement all the ssh-related 
functionality in Switchy, so just provide a general command-line interface 
instead.

What are your thoughts? I'm new to Chrome myself and I'm not even sure if the 
browser or its extensions have access to the system. If so, I'll be happy to 
try implementing it.

This is basically a duplicate of issue #127, but it looks like that thread has 
become a clearinghouse for general tunneling-related issues. Let's talk 
implementation.

Cheers!
