If even one HTTP proxy is accessible that allows to connect to\r\nport 22 of the desired outside machine, `connect.exe` can be used in\r\nconjunction with the `ProxyCommand` directive in `$HOME/.ssh/config` to\r\nallow regular ssh and scp connections. Example:\r\n\r\n-- snippet of $HOME/.ssh/config --\r\nHost github.com\r\nUser git\r\nProxyCommand connect -H proxy.local.net:8080 %h %p\r\n-- end snippet\r\n\r\nIf a SOCKS proxy is available, the same directive works when `-H` is\r\nreplaced with the `-S` option.\r\n\r\nSigned-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/comments/133353321","html_url":"https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/pull/754#issuecomment-133353321","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/754","id":133353321,"user":{"login":"dscho","id":127790,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/127790?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho","html_url":"https://github.com/dscho","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-08-21T09:42:01Z","updated_at":"2015-08-21T09:42:01Z","body":"I just updated this PR to avoid the ugly wildcard in `cd ...-*`, instead [using @nalla's technique](https://github.com/nalla/MINGW-packages/commit/de1c8cf86789d4deae2bfdd13679c0efb939304c#diff-7fa0aa1df096dad36ba8f9de58b2a309R6) to hard-code the tag (this also provides extra safety, I guess, to safeguard against an updated tag)."}}
