Hi, RFC 2616 defines a http proxy and a tunnel. But I'am confused on how a http tunnel works. A proxy works by taking a request from a client and connecting to the origin server indicated in the request. Here the client is configured to go through the proxy. How does a http tunnel work. Is the initial connection similar ? Does a client (browser) need to configured differently when it goes through a tunnel or is it same as the configuration required when it goes through the proxy ? Are there to separate tcp connections for each request even in a tunnel ? Thanks in Advance, Regards, Vinit Kumar ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
