I am sure there is many persons in my case that are using a campus internet connection, problem is that most of these connections are firewalled pretty sharply, like allowing only to browse website or connect to msn or irc, what would be great is a checkbox in the preference menu allowing the users an option "connect trough port 80" allowing those trapped behind a firewall to be able to connect. This way, any computer that can browse a webpage could connect to secondlife here is the link for the feature vote http://secondlife.com/vote/index.php?get_id=354please consider this it could be a great improvement

Secondlife uses UDP as its transport protocol. Using port 80 UDP would not do you any good, as what you're looking to do is effectively make it look like http traffic. This is TCP, and is very different in function than UDP. There is no "trivial" way for SL to migrate to TCP, and even then a single TCP port would be almost impossible -- SL uses several ports at any given time.
