+Corkscrew is a tool for tunneling SSH through HTTP proxies.
+Setting up Corkscrew with SSH/OpenSSH is very simple.  Adding
+the following line to your ~/.ssh/config file will usually do
+the trick (replace proxy.example.com and 8080 with correct values):
+
+ProxyCommand /usr/bin/corkscrew proxy.example.com 8080 %h %p
+
+Basic HTTP authentication is also supported, you will need to create a file
+that contains your usename and password
+in the form of:
+
+username:password
+
+I suggest you place this file in your ~/.ssh directory.
+After creating this file you will need to ensure that the proper perms
+are set so nobody else can get your username and password by reading
+this file. So do this:
+
+chmod 600 ~/.ssh/myauth
+
+Now you will have to change the ProxyCommand line in your ~/.ssh/config
+file. Here's an example:
+
+ProxyCommand /usr/bin/corkscrew proxy.work.com 80 %h %p ~/.ssh/myauth
+
+The proxy authentication feature is very new and has not been tested
+extensively so your mileage may vary.
