I just noticed that these programs can actually tunnel an arbitrary tcp
connection through http proxies, at least squid, without any special
remote server. I always assumed that http proxies would regenerate the
HTTP requests, and at least the one squid config I have does (at least
sometimes) since it is configured to gzip-compress everything it
receives before passing it on...
Amazing how little one knows ;-)
