public proxy browsers

Is there a publicly available browser (on WWW) which actually runs on
the server side?. Let me explain by example:
I need to access a website http://www.abc.com:81
but since the website has its http server running on port 81 instead
of the default port 80, my firewall prohibits my browser from
accessing the URL.
Now, I know that i could easily change the firewall settings to allow
non-standard ports for http.
But i want to know whether there is a public website, such that i can
go to the website and put in the URL (non-standard) i want to access
and that website would pull the information from the URL that I
provide and display the webpage.

Something like the babel altavista translator....but fully functional.
Thanks,
CHinmay

Try http://localhost:81

The loopback interface doesn't go through the firewall.
