LinuxQuestions.org - Using Apache to relay service

Hi,

I need to resolve following settings, I got a client (C) at a remote site which only allows a proxied http connection on port 80 to the rest of the world.
From C I need to get a SSH tunnel to our homenetwork (K).
This would be no problem if I could run SSHd on port80, only Apache is on 80

I have tried using Apaches ProxyPass function to relay any incoming connection from
http://our.domain.net/ssh-proxy to localhost:22

I get a 200 and a debug message saying

Code:

start relaying ...

followed by a timeout on client side.

My entry in apache2.conf is

Code:

<Location /ssh-proxy>

Order deny,allow

Allow from all

</Location>



ProxyPass /ssh-proxy localhost:22

There are no entries in apaches error.log or access.log for this event.

I sniffed the traffic and it appears that Apache does not attempt to connect to the SSH at all.

I would be grateful for any suggestions.
