    If it works at all like HTTP-Tunnel, which it looks like it does, then
    it should indeed be this easy.

    HTTP-Tunnel's website (www.http-tunnel.com), IIRC, pretty much fully
    documents what they do - SOCKS proxy on your local machine, to HTTP
    proxy on their end, listening on Port 80. You might want to go a step
    ahead of your users, and block it while you're at it.
