-A proxy tunnel tool, best used as a wrapper for ssh.
+proxy-connect is a simple relaying command to make network connection via SOCKS
+and HTTPS proxies. It is mainly intended to be used as proxy command for
+OpenSSH.

-Docs here: http://zippo.taiyo.co.jp/~gotoh/ssh/connect.html
+ * Supports SOCKS (version 4/4a/5) and HTTPS CONNECT method.
+ * Supports NO-AUTH and USERPASS authentication of SOCKS
+ * Partially supports telnet proxy (experimental).
+ * You can input password from tty, ssh-askpass or environment variable.
