That's the first thing I did (actually have been running one on 80 
for many years from an earlier engagement), .. but neither 80 nor 443 
work through this proxy server.

The only solution I can envision is a web-based ssh client, ... ssl 
on 443 to the web server server, authenticate, and receive an ssh 
login in the browser (Ajax/JX/Java/??). The only traffic through the 
proxy server will then be valid SSL/HTML, so the proxy server is 
happy; I get an ssh prompt in the browser, so I can get work done.

         TFTR!
