To successfully establish a new connection to local/remote server - no matter via SSL, SSH or HTTP, set the database login information in the General tab. HTTP Tunneling is a method for connecting to a server that uses the same protocol (http://) and the same port (port 80) as a web server does. Anyone who has ever made anything of importance was disciplined. SSH serves to prevent such vulnerabilities and allows you to access a remote server's shell without compromising security.
