Re: SSH Proxy support?

Todd,

Thanks for the answer.

I ended up asking on the Paramiko mailing list about the issue, and they
seemed to say that the HTTP proxying could be done within Komodo, and then
passing that socket onto Paramiko.

I'm not really in a position, nor am I equipped with the knowledge to know
which method is better, but it seems like both parties are saying it should
be in the other...haha...

But from ActiveState's perspective, they won't be including SSH HTTP Proxy
support anytime in Komodo, will they? I suppose you guys don't accept
bounties for these sorts of things?

Cheers,
Victor
