Heh.  And, of course, all port 80 traffic is HTTP, right?

I'm typing this over an ssh session run over IP tunneled through
port-53 UDP.  The place I'm staying has wireless "Internet".  But turns
out they severely cripple it unless you pay - but their crippling lets
port 53 through, apparently without checking that the traffic is
actually DNS traffic.  So I'm just tunneling on port 53.
