I am pretty sure there is. Or at least TCP-over-HTTP, or IP-over-HTTP. An
acquaintance of mine used it to tonnel home through a corporate firewall. I
think -- I didn't want to know the details.

If you implement in the same way as ssh tunnels, the application doesn't
need to know anything about it -- you just talk to a TCP port on localhost.
Good for everyone involved.
