ABOUT

Webtunnel is a network utility that encapsulates arbitrary data in  
HTTP and
transmits it through a web server. In that regard, it is similar to  
httptunnel,
however, it has several key important differences: its server  
component runs in
the context of a web server as a CGI application (with optional  
FastCGI support)
so it does not need its own port, and supports most things that the  
web server
supports, such as authentication, HTTP 1.1, HTTPS, and client  
certificates; it
uses simple requests and responses so it works seamlessly through  
forward and
reverse proxies; it is multi-threaded (actually multi-process using  
sockets for
inter-process communication) to allow multiple parallel connections to  
multiple
destinations simultaneously.

It's written in Perl and currently supports the tunneling of TCP  
connections.
Future plans include implementations in different languages, mixed  
tunneling of
UDP and pipes (so you can tunnel directly to a shell etc.),  
configuration
features such as access control lists, and transmission options like  
compression
and encryption.
