One option would be to establish a SSH tunnel through the firewall's HTTP proxy (using a CONNECT request) to an outside host using tn-gw-nav. Although this piece of software is designed for Gauntlet proxies it is pretty straightforward to modify to suit your firewall's requirements. Once you have SSH up and running you're able to do all the usual SSH port forwarding tricks. See ftp://ftp.nlc.net.au/pub/unix/tn-gw-nav/index.html. A ~/.ssh/config snippet would look like this: Host myhost.outside.com ProxyCommand tn-gw-nav -H -h www-proxy.inside.com -p 8080 %h 22 But then the company policy issue remains... On the other hand, allowing CONNECT tunnels through a firewall is a well-known known open door.
