I want to know what is HTTP TUNNELLING and what is the purpose it serves.?
612235
HTTP Tunneling is the process in which all the data on http port (80, 8080) is send/received encrypted using an encapsulation layer. The purpose is to get the data encrypted and secure between the two hosts. It can be also used to proxy the http data from one server to the hosts.

Are you trying to get past a school internet filter?  Those are practically impossible to get through.  While there are many "Proxy Tunnel" websites out there (just do a yahoo/google search), most filters are smart and advanced enough to know when someone is trying to use a tunnel.  If you do find a tunnel, most are very unreliable and unsecure.  If you're trying to access some websites that require logins and secure connections, those sites won't work because they require a secure connection.  \n\nAlso, the filters and admins will eventually figure out what you're doing and will subsequently block those tunnel sites.\n\nI'd just not even try.  It'll save you from much annoyance and anguish.

Your question is not clear. \n\nHere are some suggestions :\n\n1. You are trying to access a website, which is blocked by your proxy or firewall.\n\nUse a cgi proxy. There are many available. Or set up your own. It is called circumventing. Search through google.

i'm not sure what your on about, but i'll have a guess, your talking about a proxy, a proxy is a puter that goes between you and the site, if your using 1 then you spoof that site into believing your from a place your not, is that what your asking....???\n\nR3dm0

FTP is File Transfer protocol, it will not compress your data. Anyway Most sites now use HTTP instead

you can try IP tunneling. serach on google for more info

Yahoo tunnell restricts acessibility on yahoo.. more secure

A server that sits between a client application, such as a Web browser, and a real server. It intercepts all requests to the real server to see if it can fulfill the requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to the real server.\n\nProxy servers have two main purposes:\n# Improve Performance: Proxy servers can dramatically improve performance for groups of users. This is because it saves the results of all requests for a certain amount of time. Consider the case where both user X and user Y access the World Wide Web through a proxy server. First user X requests a certain Web page, which we'll call Page 1. Sometime later, user Y requests the same page. Instead of forwarding the request to the Web server where Page 1 resides, which can be a time-consuming operation, the proxy server simply returns the Page 1 that it already fetched for user X. Since the proxy server is often on the same network as the user, this is a much faster operation. Real proxy servers support hundreds or thousands of users. The major online services such as America Online, MSN and Yahoo, for example, employ an array of proxy servers.\n# Filter Requests: Proxy servers can also be used to filter requests. For example, a company might use a proxy server to prevent its employees from accessing a specific set of Web sites. \n\nif you have to bypass your proxy server you need to access your net through another proxy server,to do that go to websites like www.officebrowse.com,www.hidemyass.com,www.browseatwork.com and enter the url of the page you want to visit in the text box

a few months back, a yahoo employee said in a blog that:\n\nerror 999 would be served to machines sending "excessive, anomalous, or abusive traffic".\n\nThey intend to send it in cases where it seems that a user is doing something slightly naughty, such as using up all of someone's bandwidth.\n\nBut I suppose it could also be sent to anyone who happened to be using the same ISP as someone else who had been suspected of abusing bandwidth in that way.

This is a standard warning that you Accessing a non-secure site or page and anything you send can be intercepted and viewed by  another computer. If you want it to stop giving this warning just check the little box and it won't bother you any more.

to block unwanted visitors...\nlike for example\nhttp://ca.answers.yahoo.com \n(yahoo.com)\nis \n...Name Server: NS1.YAHOO.COM....\nI.P.  209.131.36.158\nhttp://www.internic.net/whois.html\n\nbut if that was real, without hardwalls and routers,\none could internally access private data,...\npossibly causing damage, \nsort of like having a backdoor ftp access...\nor when building a yahoo homepage without user passwords...\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address\n...

Two possibilities come to mind:  IPv6 or SSL tunnel.  I have no direct experience with either, however.\n\nAccording to the speaker at a Linux talk on IPv6 I ttended a year+ ago, quite a few firewalls fail to do anything with (or even recognize) IPv6 packets.  You might find that you can poke right through without hindrance.\n\nA more "traditional" approach is an SSL tunnel/gateway, which is roughly what the other respondent suggested.  You set up a special server on  your home machine or some other external box to which you have access, and it acts as a proxy and connects your tunneled packet stream to the host and port of your choosing.  One example I saw in 2002 or so was called Bouncer; it was available only as binaries, but Linux, Win32 and Solaris versions were available.  Unfortunately the site no longer exists, but you can read up on it at the Internet Archive links below, and a search for the specific filenames may still turn up hits out there somewhere.

yes, you can use a "tunneling" softwarte, like httpport or hopster (www.hopster.com)

(pronounced as separate letters) Short for Secure Sockets Layer, a protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL uses a cryptographic system that uses two keys to encrypt data − a public key known to everyone and a private or secret key known only to the recipient of the message. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers.By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http:.\n\nAnother protocol for transmitting data securely over the World Wide Web is Secure HTTP (S-HTTP). Whereas SSL creates a secure connection between a client and a server, over which any amount of data can be sent securely, S-HTTP is designed to transmit individual messages securely. SSL and S-HTTP, therefore, can be seen as complementary rather than competing technologies. Both protocols have been approved by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a standard.

Aum if you dont have any help dont bother answering. Go to atunnel.com, its one of the only proxy servers that can hide the referal information.

the server that u are on is belonging to an american oil company,dont try to hack it because u will get in troubles\n\nnow if u insist,try portforwarding maybe u will be able to see the pages that u want

A "web" site just means that there is a Hypertext Transfer\nProtocol server running which will communicate with you\n(usually your browser) via HTTP.\n\nAn "ftp" site is a similar concept except that it communicates\nusing the File Transfer Protocol,\n\nThe two protocols can both be used to transfer files, although\nwe usually think of an HTTP server downloading pictures and\ntext (web pags) to a browser, versus an FTP server providing\nboth downloads and uploads via some special FTP client.\n\nOne difference is that FTP provides the concept of a "user",\nso it supports accounts and passwords (whereas HTTP web sites\nare *usually* open to anyone).   Also, it is just as convenient\nto upload a file with FTP as it is to download it.\n\nBy convention, many FTP servers provide "anonymous" access,\nwhich allows you to log in with account "ftp" (or "anonymous")\nand use any string as the password.  For *those* sites, you\ncan actually use your *browser* to communicate via FTP rather\nthan via HTTP.  Note that in a URL, the protocol is specified\nas the leading string before the colon.  So rather than\nspecifying "http://answers.yahoo.com" (with a leading "http"),\nyou can specify an anonymous ftp site, specifying the "ftp"\nprotocol, for example:\n\nftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com
