=head1 NAME

sslh - Switch incoming connection between SSH and SSL/HTTPS servers

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<sslh> S<[ B<-v> ]> S<[ B<-p> I<[host:]port> ]> S<[ B<-t> I<timeout> ]>
     S<[ B<--ssh> I<[host:]port> ]> S<[ B<--ssl> I<[host:]port> ]>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<sslh> is a simple script that lets you switch an incoming connection
on a single port between distinct SSH and SSL/HTTPS servers.

B<sslh> listens for connections on a port and is able to redirect
them either to an HTTPS web server or a SSH server.

This lets one setup both a HTTPS web server and a SSH server
and access them through the same host+port.

=head1 OPTIONS

The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes.

=over 4

=item B<-p>, B<--port> I<[host:]port>

The port the proxy will listen to.
If no port is given, 443 is used by default.
If no host is given, C<localhost> is used by default.

=item B<-s>, B<--ssh> I<[host:]port>

The SSH server which the SSH connections must be forwarded to.
If omitted, the default is I<localhost:22>.

=item B<-l>, B<--ssl>, B<--https> I<[host:]port>

The HTTPS server which the HTTPS connections must be forwarded to.
If omitted, the default is I<localhost:443>.

=item B<-t>, B<--timeout> I<delay>

Timeout in seconds before a silent incoming connection is considered
as a SSH connection. The number can be fractional.

The default is I<2>seconds.

=item B<-v>, B<--verbose>

Verbose output.
This option can be used several times for more verbose output.

=back

=head1 EXAMPLE OF USE
 
Is this tool actually useful? Yes.

For example one can use it to access both a SSH server and a secure
web server via a corporate proxy that only accepts to relay connections
to port 443. Creating a tunnel that passes SSH connection through a
CONNECT-enabled web proxy is easy with B<connect-tunnel> (also
included in the C<Net::Proxy> distribution).

The proxy will let both SSH and HTTPS connections out (since they
all point to port 443), and the home server will connect those incoming
connections to the appropriate server. This only requires to run the
HTTPS server on a non standard port (not 443).

=head1 TECHNICAL NOTE

How can this proxy find out what kind of protocol is using a TCP
connection to port 443, without being connected (yet) to the server?
We actually rely on a slight difference between the SSL and SSH
protocols (found thanks to B<ethereal>):

=over 4

=item SSH

Once the TCP connection is established, the server speaks first,
presenting itself by saying something like:

    SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 Debian 1:3.6.1p2-1

=item SSL

With SSL, it's always the client that speaks first.

=back

This means that B<sslh> can be used with any pair of protocols/services
that share this property (the client speaks first for one and the server
speaks first for the other).

=head1 SCRIPT HISTORY

Version 0.01 of the script was a quick hack designed in 2003 as a proof
of concept.

Version 0.02 (and higher) are based on C<Net::Proxy>, and included with
the C<Net::Proxy> distribution. Version 0.02 didn't work, though.

Version 0.03 correctly initialised the C<in> connector.

Version 0.04 lets the proxy listen on any address (instead of C<localhost>,
which is still the default). Thanks to Dieter Voegtli for spotting this.
