Default SSH via HTTPs ?

Hey i was wondering does anybody know if it is possible to do ssh through https?


as previously stated im a researcher and our group is always on the go and we need to update our internal wiki externally.
the problem is that some sys admins from our project associates are short minded and close connections to https and dont allow nothing except ssh.
so what i need is something that would let me tunnel all the traffic from https to ssh.

scheme:
researcher pc at project associate location (via ssh) >>> firewall of project associate (blocks https traffic)>>>(web)>>> our local server (any port could be opened if needed) >>> internal wiki server( wiki runs on https)

You can tunnel Tunneling to HTTP(S).

I am using special program called Proxytunnel. It is a program that connects stdin and stdout to a server somewhere on the network, through a standard HTTPS proxy. We mostly use it to tunnel SSH sessions through HTTP(S) proxies, allowing us to do many things that wouldn't be possible without ProxyTunnel.

You can download the software here => http://proxytunnel.sourceforge.ne

Hope this helps

Try out following command from your local laptop or desktop (assuming that you are using *nix):
Type following command:
Code:
ssh -L 443:127.0.0.1:443 -N -f -l username server-ip
Open browser and type url http://127.0.0.1:443/

UPDATE

Ok, that doesnt work for what we need here.

What we need is a program that could use tcpmux (which runs on port 1) and when a client connects it tells tcpmux what protocol he wants to use, and will use it througout the whole session.
The problem here is we need some way to automatically identify what protocol is being used when getting connected. this should be easy considering the differences betwenn an http packet and an ssh packet

anybody know what i could do?

Hmm

What is TCPMUX? According to wikipeida it is some sort of TCP port service multiplexer

I am note sure what you want .. can you explain bit more...
