Localtunnel -- instantly set up a public tunnel to your local web server

What deficiencies of http://www.reversehttp.net/ is this trying to solve?

I've been happy with the reliability of reversehttp for all the testing I've done with it.

If you're using ruby, hookout does a great job running your rack app as a reversehttp endpoint: http://github.com/paulj/hookout

ReverseHTTP is just a spec and not a very popular one. Localtunnel is based on SSH tunneling which has been around longer than ReverseHTTP, especially for this particular purpose. And while Hookout is a great tool, I'm not sure why it was made specific to Ruby Rack...

Especially good for debugging webhooks, such as with PubSubHubbub.
