I am a bit confused. Isn't the following says the opposite:
[03:20:03 /tmp]$ grep-available -s Description -P dante-client
Description: Provides a SOCKS wrapper for users behing a firewall.
Dante provides "socksify" - a program which forwards network requests from
any program to the SOCKS server (v4 or v5) which then performs them on your
behalf.
[03:20:21 /tmp]$
It seems to me that the problem here is the same as with ftp. My socks server
only let me run passive ftp.
The following seems to be able to help me:
[03:21:30 /tmp]$ grep-available -s Description -P httptunnel
Description: Tunnels a data stream in HTTP requests.
Creates a bidirectional virtual data stream tunnelled in
HTTP requests. The requests can be sent via a HTTP proxy
if so desired.
[03:22:11 /tmp]$
But the following suggests it is not trivial:
[03:25:39 /tmp]$ grep -A12 cgi httptunnel-3.0/FAQ
Q: How hard would it be to implement "hts" as a cgi running on a
normal web server?
A: hts can't be called directly from the HTTP server, because hts will
service many connections during the lifetime of the tunnel. If the
HTTP server executed a new instance of hts every time a new request
was made, each new hts wouldn't have access to the prior state of
the tunnel.
However, a CGI proxy which forwards the requests to a normal hts
listening to a port != 80 whould most probably be quite trivial to
implement.
[03:25:44 /tmp]$
I guess I should use socksify + read LDP/HOWTO/mini/Firewall-Piercing or,
better, get myself a proper IP.
