<div>Hello,<br></div><div><br></div><div>I've got the crazy idea to run stunnel behind an existing, SSL-enabled, basic-auth-using httpd. Configuration would be as follows:</div><div><br></div><div>1. put some stunnel.cgi into /usr/www/cgi-bin which would call stunnel binary</div>
<div><br></div><div>2. start stunnel client with -r <a href="https://login:passwd@myhost.org/cgi-bin/stunnel.cgi">https://login:passwd@myhost.org/cgi-bin/stunnel.cgi</a></div><div><br></div><div>Advantages (assumed you're behind a proxy which allows only 443 as outgoing port):</div>
<div><br></div><div>a. You can still access other WebIFs on that server.</div><div>b. You don't have to administer another web server including authentication, certificates and so on.</div><div><br></div><div>May be stunnel is not the best tool for the above scenario (I reckon stunnel is currently unable to fulfill this)... I hope someone can shed �some light on this.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers, Chatty.�</div>
