This tunneling mechanism was initially introduced for the SSL protocol {[}SSL{]} to allow secure Web traffic to pass through firewalls, but its utility is not limited to SSL. Earlier drafts of this specification were titled 'Tunneling SSL through Web Proxy Servers' \textless{}draft-luotonen-ssl-tunneling-XX.txt\textgreater{}. Implementations of this tunneling feature are commonly referred to as 'SSL tunneling', although, again, it can be used for tunneling any TCP based protocol. A wide variety of existing client and proxy server implementations conform to this specification. The purpose of this specification is to describe the current practice, to propose some good practices for implementing this specification, and to document the security considerations that are involved with this protocol.}, }
