Re: Tunelling RDP traffic over HTTP proxies.

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.
