The idea of the utility is, not to connect any SSH server, but to your own
(destination) host. The *destination* sshd will be listening the HTTPS
port. From there, you can springboard elsewhere.

If anyone can test this kind of setup as outlined in:

    http://www.zeitoun.net/articles/ssh-through-http-proxy/start

That'd be great. To install:

     wget http://cante.net/~jaalto/tmp/cygwin/connect-proxy/connect-proxy-1.101-1.tar.bz2
     tar -C / -xf connect-proxy-1.101-1.tar.bz2
