  In my experience, there's a good chance it actually has access to
more than just HTTP-over-SSL: It likely has access to anything on
TCP/443.  So run a regular HTTP listener on port 443, and save
yourself some CPU burden.  :)

  (Some filters actually verify protocol, not just TCP port number,
but they're in the minority.)
