I used HTTP Tunneling my first year of college (when I was on the school's internet) and in Japan (where I was on a very blocked interenet). Typically the main program (HTTP Tunnel or what have you) works along a certain series of ports. You add programs to the HTTP Tunnel list (programs that will work with HTTP Tunnel). Then you have to go into the program itself and tell it to access that certain port range. Basically, the program is going through HTTP Tunnel to utilize ports that it normally wouldn't (the HTTP ports instead of whatever they'd normally be doing).

I would totally help you if I could. But I tried setting up tunneling once and spent a few hours trying to get ssh to work before finally giving up.
I think I was trying to use it to do something it can't, specifically, mask the actual machine that was making web requests (yeah, I'm always up to no good). What it really is for is to route one connection through ssh to the server that you are trying to contact. Like, I could tunnel pop3 through ssh to my mail server. But I couldn't tunnel my web browser through the tunnel and have the other server make web requests for me. Anyway, I believe that is how it works.
So what exactly are you trying to do?

So, you are trying to get everything through the firewall? Use VPN if you can get a server you can use. I'm not sure VPN will do port 80, but I suppose that depends on the VPN server you connect to.
