+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+httptunnel: httptunnel (tunnel over http)
+httptunnel:
+httptunnel: httptunnel creates a bidirectional virtual connection tunnelled in
+httptunnel: HTTP requests, and the HTTP requests can be sent via an HTTP proxy
+httptunnel: if so desired. This can be useful for users behind restrictive
+httptunnel: firewalls. If WWW access is allowed through a HTTP proxy, it's
+httptunnel: possible to use httptunnel and e.g. telnet or PPP to connect to
+httptunnel: another computer outside the firewall.
