Tunneling TCP traffic through HTTP proxy It is not obvious but possible to use HTTP proxy to tunnel arbitrary TCP traffic for applications and protocols other than HTTP. Most http proxies support CONNECT command that is used to establish secure https connections. Some servers may wish to simply refuse the connection. The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, did not receive a timely response from the upstream server specified by the URI (e.g. HTTP, FTP, LDAP) or some other auxiliary server (e.g. DNS) it needed to access in attempting to complete the request.

Network Load Balancing, a clustering technology included in the Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Datacenter Server operating systems, ENHANCES THE STABILITY AND AVAILABILITY OF MISSION-CRITICAL, TCP/IP-BASED SERVICES, SUCH AS WEB, TERMINAL SERVICES, VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKING, AND STREAMING MEDIA SERVERS. An Evaluation of TCP Splice Benefits in Web Proxy Servers A Web proxy cache can exploit the basic TCP Splice service to handle SSL tunnels and HTTP/1.0 requests for content determined to be non-cacheable based on the request message. Figure 2 presents the pseudo-code for sample procedures for handling CONNECT and GET requests; both procedures are invoked after the proxy accepts the client connection Understanding Proxy Server Clients can be set up for Internet access in minutes. Proxy Server is compatible with most Internet protocols and Windows Sockets–based applications. On your internal network, Proxy Server supports both Internet Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange (IPX/SPX) and Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
