SSH connections I fear would probably also not be permitted at my college campus for fear they would think I'm either hacking a computer or using another computer to bypass their proxy.
Rivendell 2 uses rdxport.cgi to import music, am I correct? It has to access this through an http tunnel I think... does it? Now, when people from the internet want to upload something to the station, they use a form which uses rdxport.cgi. Now, if the music library were located at the college campus computer, UH OH! Their firewall will block rdxport.cgi from being able to import the music onto my campus computer... for that would be considered an inbound connection (web server computer, which contains rdxport.cgi and the upload forms is requesting upload of the music to the campus computer) . Thus, the only other workaround is that the music library must be located at the same computer as the web server (thus rdxport.cgi would make no requests to the campus computer... it'd simply upload locally to the web server computer)... however the music still has to somehow be accessible from my campus computer in rdairplay. If rdairplay were to access the music from the webserver computer that would be a downstream connection (campus computer requests connection to web server computer)... which is permitted. I can draw a diagram of what I'm trying to explain if it helps.
