This is what Tor (onion routing) is for.  Vaguely speaking ('cause I
don't know much about Tor), you encrypt your entire HTTP request and
send it to a Tor node.  It gets passed around among Tor nodes until an
"exit node" decrypts it and sends it to the destination server.  Be
aware, though, that if the destination server doesn't do HTTPS, the
conversation between it and the Tor exit node is readable by snoops.
