The SSH Proxy is full featured SOCKS Proxy written in Java.
It supports both versions 4 and 5 of Socks protocol.

Additional feature that I have implemented in SSH Proxy is the possibility to make TCP connections through an HTTP-SSL Tunnel.

SSH Proxy works in two modes:

1. Normal mode - works as normal SOCKS Proxy
2. TCP via SHTTP mode - Works as SOCKS Proxy but makes SOCKS TCP connections via HTTP-SSL Tunnel Proxy.

The TCP via SHTTP mode is very useful when user woks behind HTTP Proxy and hasn't any other acces to the Internet. In this case the user can run SSH Proxy on his/her machine, and configure it to use TCP connections via HTTP-SSL tunnels which are commonly supported by most proxies. This way he/she will be able to use other internet applications, eg. IRC, FTP, e-mail, telnet, HTTP (of course :-) but without caching and etc.

But if SSH Proxy works behind a firewall (in SSL tunnel mode) - the other SOCKS commands BIND and UDP association will not work.

SSH Proxy loads its configuration from file config.txt which should be in the directory of the SSH Proxy

The variables UseSHttpProxy and EnableLog are logical. So you can specify their values either by 1, 0, Yes or No.
