Tunneling HTTP and HTTPS over port 8080 [2]

I have used Xshell to successfully tunnel to things like VNC servers, but I cannot seem to tunnel to a web server on our intranet using Xshell -- I can tunnel to the web server OK using PuTTY and access it using http://localhost:8080, but the same tunnel configuration in Xshell does not work -- it just returns the standard "page not found" instead of the ID/Password authentication pop-up. The web server is on port 8080 -- is there something I'm missing that is keeping this from working in Xshell?

We have found a small problem in port forwarding channel. It will be fixed and we will post a solution in the next week.

Please uninstall the previous version and install Xshell 1.2 beta at:

http://download.conux.com/files/xsh12b.exe

It fixes the tunneling problem with HTTPS. All sessions created before will be retained in Xshell 1.2 beta.

Xshell 1.2 beta has the following new features:

- Supports the SFTP protocol.
- "Same host" toolbar button.
- Options for the Backspace key sequence.
- Enhanced processing of double-byte encodings.

We appreciate your feedback.
