I can smell an NNTP over http proxy.
For syncronous commands and with HTTP keep-alive it should be nearly as
eficient as regular NNTP

A possible solution to that is spending a few bucks an year for a shell
acocunt with NNTP access. (only requirement is that it is pwd based, not key
based)
Then use a web SSH client to connect to it if a normal ssh is not
available. (the web ssh is the reason for the keyless account).
I do this for years now. Other advantage is that you always have access to
your own lastread pointers, and have to memorize/carry very little.
