No but many applications tunnel their stuff over http, and often on port
80.

RTSP (Real) is a good example of this, using tho HTTP requests to
establis a bidirectoinal opaqueue (and completely uncacheabe) tunnel
over HTTP proxies.

Other applications are abusing the CONNECT method to do the same thing.
meant to be used for SSL, but is in reality being used a lot more for
other traffic such as FTP, IRC, Peer-To-Peer and god knows what..
