I suggest
"tunnelling utility through HTTP and HTTPS proxies"

> This package installs http-proxy-tunnel. Http-proxy-tunnel creates
> TCP tunnels through a series of http and https proxies. It differs
> from other tunnelling programs such as corkscrew in that with the
> right additional magic (described in the README) you can create an
> ssh tunnel using the same TCP port web pages are served from.
