The configuration is quite simple.
1. assuming the corkscrew is installed in /usr/local/bin directory
2. make the following entry in the $HOME/.ssh/config file (chmod +600)
Host *
ProxyCommand /usr/local/bin/corkscrew <proxy-ip-address> <port> %h %p
3. Access the site using
ssh -l username -p 443 site.company.com
It works well and the connection is not dropped !
thanks
Saifi.
