Hi, There are certain situations out there, when it is currently not so simple to contribute to the Qt Project. One typical use case, if there is a proxy server without using socks, just plain http. In those cases, ssh tunneling does not work either properly. Imagine that, the ports 80 and 443 are allowed only.
What one can do for instance in the KDE project is simpler since git.kde.org does listen via ssh on the port 443, so that establishment can be used for cloning and pushing to the KDE repositories. Unfortunately, this is not the case with the Qt Project currently. As far as I have been told, the port 443 is used for the Gerrit webinterface. What one could do is to use a gateway server listetning on port 443 via ssh. Unfortunately, many people do not have such an ability. Furthermore, I do think it is suboptimal, if each contributor in this situation should solve the issue in question on their own. Many people cannot just unfortunately use the port 29418 recommended. Hence, I am now asking, if it is possible to find a solution for people willing to contribute to the Qt Project with these conditions. One option is an outside proxy on the port 443, but any solution is welcome. Thank you in advance.
