[CQ-Contest] Is there any HTTP cluster streams (not telnet)?

[Michael Adams]

There are networks that seem to block by traffic by protocol in addition to blocking by port or destination.

I do wonder about how realistic an HTTPS-based cluster protocol (plain ol' HTTP isn't quite as deprecated as telnet, but it's getting there) actually is for those of us who like drinking from the RBN firehose.

TCP is a transport-layer protocol, and HTTP is an application-layer protocol that runs over TCP. Just like Telnet. If you worried about ports, couldn't you run Telnet on port 80 and be done with it?
