Sometimes people are forced to use http proxy for http traffic (80 and
443) (an example is university of Glasgow), therefore you can't send
arbitrary traffic through port 80 -- it just doesn't work.

However, you can use port 443 for arbitrary TCP and be quite sure it
will work anywhere. (I used openvpn over tcp 443)
