HTTP Proxy via SSH
Hi.
I have the following problem: I need to access certain internal html pages from a webserver, which denies access with my ip, but I got an ssh account for a computer able to access the http server.
Do you know any way to access these pages with a browser? (I need to post data, etc..).

Re: HTTP Proxy via SSH
You can map the remote-port via ssh to a local-port and you can browse at localhost:8080 for example:
ssh -C -L 8080:<webserver>:80 <loginserver> -l <user>

Re: HTTP Proxy via SSH
for example: If I wanted to browse google I'd use
ssh -C -L 8080:www.google.de:80 my_sshserver.org -l cmp ?

Worst case scenario you could always wget the pages you need to browse to the ssh account, and then bring those pages to your machine and browse them locally.

Re: HTTP Proxy via SSH
I thought about it, but the pages need cookie-based authentication, so I would need to send / save cookies and post data. and that all by commandline is a royal pain.

Have you tried looking at an application called cURL?. It has a cookie parsing engine.
