Fighting against HTTP-only firewalls is like constantly pointing it out
to the popular press that they should say 'cracker' instead of 'hacker'.
It is pointless and only hurts the availability our own project.
Yes, and Shawn Pierce is working on making HTTP a proper "smart" access
method, based on a proposal I submitted. That is the proper solution,
since it avoids all the braindamage of "dumb" access methods. We
[kernel.org] intend to deploy it as soon as it is available.
