Viewer with less liberal use of ports?

Would it be feasible to create a viewer that would operate behind a firewall? I mean a firewall that is only open to ordinary web-browser traffic?

On the face of it, I suppose the answer is no, since the SL servers will try to talk to the ports they're used to talking to.

However, what if the solution has two parts? A proxy and a client.

The proxy sits on a server outside the firewall, and talks to the SL server, passing itself off as an ordinary SL viewer.

The proxy and client talk to each other through port 80.

So, whatever the human does at the client is sent to the proxy, and the proxy sends updates to the client.

Does this sound do-able? I'm sure someone else must have asked the question already.

This has come up before and yes, you probably could do it with a proxy.

Also usually included in the answer is "but playing SL at work is probably gonna get you fired because they _will_ notice!!"
