Just a word of caution before setting up a SSH over HTTP tunnel - make
sure you know your companies IT security policy....

When a company blocks all bar HTTP & HTTPS traffic, I typically find 
they also have a corresponding IT security policy expressly forbidding
access of any non HTTP / HTTPS services. Normally a clause in an employement
contract to make violating the security policy a trivially sackable
offence. Particularly if you have done delibrate circumvention by
tunnelling an expressly denied protocol over HTTP(s). I also know of
companies who have an intercepting HTTPS proxy so they can examine
traffic going over HTTPs which would otherwise be encrypted (yes this
means that all user's browsers give SSL security warnings for the 
certificates).
