Using HTTP proxies with iSCSI

[csapuntz@cisco.com]

Just a note for future reference (not meant to spark discussion)...

HTTP has a way of de facto standard way of setting up TCP connections through
HTTP proxies. See the CONNECT verb in section 9.9 of RFC 2616 and
the expired draft at:

http://www.alternic.org/drafts/drafts-l-m/draft-luotonen-web-proxy-tunneling-01.html

This mechanism could be used for iSCSI.

This mechanism is in-band, in that it occurs on the same TCP connection,
yet out-of-band, since it is iSCSI independent.
