Overview

Package revdial implements a Dialer and Listener which work together to turn an accepted connection (for instance, a Hijacked HTTP request) into a Dialer which can then create net.Conns connecting back to the original dialer, which then gets a net.Listener accepting those conns.

This is basically a very minimal SOCKS5 client & server.

The motivation is that sometimes you want to run a server on a machine deep inside a NAT. Rather than connecting to the machine directly (which you can't, because of the NAT), you have the sequestered machine connect out to a public machine. Both sides then use revdial and the public machine can become a client for the NATed machine.
