Sorry if this ends up being re-posted, I am having issues with my newsreader at the moment.......

Hi, I have an interesting problem that I was wondering if anybody could help me with.
I have a friend inside a LAN that is in RFC1918 private address space (10.x.x.x).
He is forced to access content from behind a microsoft proxy server that has a NIC sitting in
public IP space.
This way, the users on the LAN are prevented from establishing TCP sockets with hosts in the real world.
The proxy server does not support any socket based connections (e.g SOCKS) whatsoever, as per configuration.
I need him to be able to access my host, which currently runs an SSHD on the standard port (22).
I need some kind of SSH over HTTPS tunnelling to get this to work.
There are no SSH clients around that I have seen with the ability to specify such a feat, therefore
the "bouncing" software will need to bind to a port on this guys local host, to which he should SSH to.
The software should then "encapsulate" these packets inside an HTTPS request packet, and send it through the proxy,
with a destination of my host (I can get my host to bind sshd to 443 if needed).
The return packets (which my host will have to also encapsulate in HTTPS responses?) will need to be returned through the proxy
to a port listening on this guy's machine, and then de-encapuslated (stripped) back to SSH packets again....
Sounds complicated, no?
Anybody have any ideas about this???????
