XML man in the middle

Sometime ago I did some research trying to find a tool that could be
used for man-in-the-middle an XML communication and could not find many.

We were trying to intercept the communication between a Macromedia Flash
application and a remote server. They used the XMPP protocol, but not
over HTTP, instead they communicate through a raw socket.

At the end we realized that we could use standard web proxy tools
provided that we could tunnel the communication over HTTP. Just in case
anyone has been in the same situation I have put the ideas and tools
together in this post:
