httptunnel creates a bidirectional virtual data path tunnelled
in HTTP requests. The requests can be sent via an HTTP proxy if
so desired. This can be useful for users behind restrictive
firewalls. If WWW access is allowed through an HTTP proxy, it's
possible to use httptunnel and, say, telnet or PPP to connect to
a computer outside the firewall.
If you still don't understand what this is all about, maybe you
can find some useful information in the FAQ file.
This program is mostly intended for technically-oriented users.
They should know what to do.
===> The following configuration options are available for httptunnel-3.3_4:
DEBUG=off: Build with debugging support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

www/httptunnel: update && take maintainership
Submitter requests maintainership. Already maintainer of several ports.
No functional changes in the port, but getting it in shape.
PR: 263943
Reported by: portmaster@bsdforge.com
In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
Remove painful examples of foo="", with particular prejudice against
constructions that parse out to [ -z "$foo" ] && foo=""
These are bad examples that get copied and pasted into new code, so the
hope is that with less bad examples there will be less need for me to
bring this up in review.
In a few of these files all that were changed were comments so that next
time I search for these patterns I won't trip on the file for no reason.
In a few places, add $FreeBSD$
No functional changes, so no PORTREVISION bumps
For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.
Rework on rc script for www/httptunnel.
- Use fixed uid and gid
- Rewrite the rc script to use the new rc.d style and split into two scripts:
hts (for server) and htc (for client)
- Bump PORTREVISION for this

3.0.1 -> 3.1: Defeat stupid proxies that don't recognise no-cache Update
configure.in (again) Fix some typos and other cosmetic stuff Integrate
all port patches back into the main source archive
As threatened on freebsd-ports: all startup scripts know about the two options
`start' and `stop' now (unless I have forgotten any). This allows us to call
the scripts from /etc/rc.shutdown with the correct option.
