httptunnel with apache

[Jim Duda]

I'm running on linux, kernel 2.4.21

Has anyone tried using httptunnel through the apache webserver?
I only have 1 TCP port (443) which is common between two
points I want to tunnel.  I need to also serve a web page, so
I need to share apache and httptunnel.

I can successfully connect hts and htc outside of apache
by simple doing ...

hts -F localhost:23
htc -F 8000 localhost:8888

telnet localhost 8000 works.

Now, I try to pass through apache.  I'm using the apache
webserver with vitual hosts.

<VirtualHost *>
  ServerName <myservername>.com
  ProxyPass / http://localhost:8888/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8888/
</VirtualHost>

Now, I setup hts and htc as ...

hts -F localhost:23
htc -F 8000 <myservername>.com

When I now do

telnet localhost 8000

I don't get the telnet prompt.  Using netstat, I see the connections
being made to ports 23, 8888, and 8000, however, the htc client
hangs.  In the log messages, I see ...

20040221 113548                 write (7, 0x8051f96, 2) ...
20040221 113548                 ... = 2
20040221 113548                 read (7, 0x8076528, 1) ...

The client simply hangs on the first read.

Has anyone been able to get this to work through apache?
