Can support netcat mode?

OpenSSH 5.4 has a "netcat mode". See OpenSSH/Cookbook/Proxies and Jump Hosts - Wikibooks, open books for an open world.
Example of netcat mode:
$ ssh -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p jumphost.example.org" server.example.org
Hi @tomohiro, thank you for this question,
Yes !
I just updated the README.md
with a better explanation and new examples of Gateways usages (see ef6b2c8).
Let's consider this example
tomohiro-a:
HostName: 1.2.3.4
tomohiro-b:
HostName: 5.6.7.8
Gateways:
- tomohiro-a
ssh tomohiro-b
is the equivalent of ssh -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p tomohiro-a" 5.6.7.8
@moul Thank you for your reply and updated documentation. It's very useful 🙆♀️
However, if not install netcat command in the gateway server, SSH client's -W
option is needed I think.
So I'm happy if you will consider to support netcat mode in the future 🙏
Oh I see, yes definitely !
I will try to implement it in the next release, I will need to test it on non OpenSSH server (dropbear) and old ones to see if I still have a fallback solution :)
Thanks again!
