Ok, thanks.  In research, I'm reading about people compiling Squid with SOCKS5 
support ... would that enable socket-proxying within Squid?  Or is there some 
creative way to generalize/leverage the FTP proxying support (since the control 
channel on an FTP session is a TCP socket, no?)?

If not ... may have to move to ssh tunnels or stunnel or something, for at 
least these connections -- and there are real disadvantages relative to Squid 
with doing that.  Nuts.

"net.tcp" appears to be what the rest of the world call TCP sockets. So no a 
socket descriptor cannot be transmitted over HTTP.
The SOAP/JASON/AJAX/todays-fad requests sent down it apparently has meta 
headers formatted as full extensible XML files instead of simple Mime "Foo:
data".
