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.
