## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

connect, upstreamed as ssh-connect/connect.c, is a small proxy relay intended for OpenSSH ProxyCommand use. It lets SSH cross SOCKS and HTTP CONNECT proxies without embedding those proxy mechanisms in OpenSSH itself.

### Projektgeschichte

The official README explains the origin plainly: OpenSSH delegated proxying to the ProxyCommand mechanism, and connect.c was made for that purpose. The tool stayed intentionally small, portable, and independent from OpenSSH.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

The package persists because corporate and campus networks still put SSH behind SOCKS or HTTPS proxies. Input metadata lists it for Homebrew, Nix, and Scoop, which fits its cross-platform C design.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Users normally compile or install the single connect binary and reference it from ~/.ssh/config with a ProxyCommand line. The README documents SOCKS4, SOCKS4a, SOCKS5, HTTP CONNECT, proxy credentials, debug mode, and local socket relay behavior.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

connect is packaging old-school Unix glue: one C file, one binary, and one exact job. Its significance is that it packages an OpenSSH extension pattern rather than a standalone network service.

### Zeitleiste

- 2000s: README-era revision strings and tags show a long-lived single-purpose C utility.
- 2026: Input package metadata still lists connect in multiple package managers.

### Related projects

- OpenSSH ProxyCommand is the interface connect is designed to serve.
- SOCKS and HTTP CONNECT proxies are the network mechanisms it relays through.
