Since you control the client and server, surely you can just update them to use port 80 or 443 (TSocketServer has multilisten to support multiple IPs and ports) and continue using your existing protocol. If your customer has a proxy or firewall than insists on checking for the HTTP protocol, use the web server component and PUT or POST your data, obviously more work than adding an extra listener but not too hard.
