__________________________________________________

  • 2005/10/27 -- Htun 0.9.6 released.
    • Now compiles properly on Fedora Core 4.

  • 2003/02/22 -- Htun 0.9.5 released.
    • Maximum length for proxy auth username length increased.
    • Now allow '/' in proxy auth username for authentication again SMB.
    • New config directives to control client retries and timings.
    • Client now behaves better when the server responds with an error code.

  • 2002/11/02 -- Htun 0.9.4 released.
    • Fixed server's behavior on client timeout with protocol 2
    • Improved the logging for easier bug finding

  • 2002/08/15 -- New protocol idea -- Keep your eyes peeled for updates!
    • Use SOCKS CONNECT method to establish a real bi-directional tunnel.
    • CONNECT method documented in RFC 2817, section 5.
    • May allow for efficient implementation of HTun + SSL!

  • 2002/08/13 -- Htun 0.9.3b released.
    • Added Content-Length header to 204 responses, as some proxies stalled waiting for it. This should fix a lot of problems people were having.

  • 2002/08/11 -- Htun 0.9.3a released.
    • Wow, I'm a moron. I fixed the server HTTP/1.0 200 OK response parsing again. Should work now.

  • 2002/08/10 -- Htun 0.9.3 released.
    • Discovered that HTTP/1.1 responses problem supposedly fixed in last 0.9.2 wasn't actually fixed. Fixed it again :-\
    • In server config, port is an alias for server_port, and secondary_port is an alias for secondary_server_port
    • Config parsing errors have been improved significantly.
    • Any IP address value in the config file may now be a domain name. HTun will resolve the name on startup.

  • 2002/08/08 -- HTun 0.9.2 released.
    • Default of 20 sec for idle_disconnect in server options changed to 1800, as 20 was causing spurious disconnects of the client.
    • Config value min_poll_interval_usec changed to msec. Value is still in msec as it used to be before.
    • Added redirect_host and redirect_port options to server config. This allows the server to respond differently to a web browser than to an HTun client, tricking the web browser into thinking it's really a webserver.
    • Lots of aesthetic and code cleanup
    • Removed some values that were never used in the config. Recommend restarting from example config in doc/, which was also updated.
    • Fixed problem with recognizing certain HTTP/1.1 responses when expecting HTTP/1.0. Seems to happen with MS Proxy Server

  • 2002/08/07 -- Problem discovered
    • I am experiencing weird problems with HTun: it is not polling, and is disconnecting soon after it connects. I am working to figure it out; please wait for the next version, where hopefully this and other bugs I've been working on will be corrected. Thanks for your patience.

  • 2002/08/02 -- HTun 0.9.1 released.
    • Added ability to authenticate with proxy using username/password
    • Fixed a problem with parsing comments correctly in config file

  • 2002/07/07 -- HTun 0.9.0 released.
    • This is our initial public release. Enjoy, and please report bugs :)
