GNU HTTP-Tunnel - http://www.nocrew.org/software/httptunnel.html will allow you to do this, it allows you to tunnel arbitrary ports over HTTP (and via a proxy if you so chose), there are some drawbacks though, if you are attempting to evade an application layer firewall this will likely not help you as the tunnelled data is still 'visible' insofar as it's transferred in the clear, I'm not aware of any (non-commercial) offerings which will tunnel over SSL. STunnel - http://www.stunnel.org/ is a universal SSL wrapper that will encrypt communications, note however that if you wish to tunnel over https rather than just wrapping your communications in an encrypted tunnel you need Stunnel wrapping something like HTTP-Tunnel to give you an end-to-end encrypted tunnel over HTTP which may evade application layer firewalls.
