So if I understand this correctly, apache + the proxy mod is doing the heavy lifting here correct? It receives a request to connect on port 22 to the ssh-server and, apparently, it is smart enough to just know that it needs to establish an ssh connection? I ask because I thought that CONNECT would result in tls connections only.
Edit: I should just have looked up the wikipedia example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_tunnel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_tunnel
- MadnessASAP 3y agoI'm fairly certain it just opens a TCP connection on the clients behalf and proxies the clients data over it. No knowledge of SSH required.
- imetatroll 3y agoYes I think you are correct. Thanks for clarifying.
- narag 3y agoLong ago I used stunnel to establish encrypted connections to remotely access my sockets servers. https://www.stunnel.org/ https://www.stunnel.org/ It didn't really matter what the protocol was, the client and server just see each other. IIRC it was also possible to connect a browser with https to a tunneled http server or viceversa.
