Try searching for "http proxy tunnel" on freshmeat.net, I got 10 hits where
at least four seem to do the desired thing.  The first hit on google on the
same search is the program "httptunnel"..  Might or might not be what you
want.

Probably not, it's not OpenSSH specific.

ProxyCommand in OpenSSH is the means to use whatever proxying system you can
think of.  OpenSSH doesn't care at all about what kind of system it is, and
doesn't have to, the exercise of finding or making a suitable client for use
with the ProxyCommand option is left to the reader.

It's a violently useful feature, I wish more software had it.
