In case anyone's interested I'm going to submit this to the

This can be _very_ handy. We've actually added HTTP support to our
auto-socksifier. So that you can tunnel all TCP/IP traffic through the
web server like this. You can actually traverse multiple ones too - it's
fun testing things like 'ftp client -> HTTP -> socksv4 -> socksv5 -> ftp
server' - just _TRY_ to figure out what step in the chain is going wrong
when your ftp downloads get truncated. :)
I was thinking of adding generic support for redirecting traffic like this
to socks.el... will have to do some hacking around with it next week
perhaps.
