+      The http2tcp tools allow to tunnel tcp connections (presumably
+      ssh) via syntactically correct http requests. It is designed to
+      work in the presence of so-called "transparent"
+      store-and-forward proxies disallowing POST requests.
+
+      It also turned out to be useful to stabilise connections where
+      the client's internet connection is unreliable (frequent long
+      network outages, rapidly changing IP address, etc).
