[egit-dev] Accessing ssh through http(s) proxy

[Sascha Scholz <sascha.scholz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I'm using a special ssh configuration to access certain git
repositories (e.g. github) outside the corporate environment:

Host github.com
        User git
        HostName ssh.github.com
        Port 443
        ProxyCommand /opt/corkscrew/2.0/bin/corkscrew proxy 8080 %h %p

With this configuration all traffic is tunneled through our corporate
proxy:8080 to ssh.github.com which listens on the https port.

A similar configuration can be made using netcat [1] instead of
corkscrew [2]. On Windows plink could be used [3].

Any idea how this could be achieved with Egit?

Thanks,
Sascha
