Ah, so you want to be able to bypass a firewall that does stateful
inspection and -only- allows plain old http traffic?

Not really aware of any other options, but I'm assuming others have
solved this problem. I know there are some fairly generic HTTP tunneling
tools available, but I don't know how well they would work with MySQL
(if at all).
I would imagine it would suck no matter the solution. Are you really
sure this is an issue for your application?
