Re[2]: I need something like ssh -D, but http proxy, not socks

Wrong again. Those who understood the question suggest proxy chaining,
although it's not ideal. For example, I need server names to be
resolved on SSH server. The SSH protocol itself supports names
resolving on server (PuTTY is the proof), but ssh -D provides only
socks4, which doesn't support names resolving on server.

Another problem is: we have some applets on remote web sites, and they
refuse to load if I use socks server.

Here's a diagram. Hope it not wraps.
