Webtunnel is an HTTP tunnel with some unique features: it runs in the context of a web server; it uses simple requests/responses for proxy traversal; and it is multi-threaded to allow many parallel connections to many destinations simultaneously.

Added an option to be able to include HTTP headers in requests
WHAT'S NEW 2009/05/13 Added an option to be able to include HTTP headers in requests<br> 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.
WHAT'S NEW 2009/03/17 Added support for proxy auto-configuration Fixed a bug that would cause a keep-alive timeout to stop the tunnel Fixed a fork handling bug to support ActivePerl's negative PIDs ABOUT Webtunnel is a network utility that encapsulates arbitrary data in HTTP and transmits it through a web server.
