That has absolutely not been my experience in the last 8-9 years of doing onsite engagements for corporations. You can usually count on HTTPS getting through unmolested. Usually.

I meant back in the 90s. I worked at a couple of companies that saw no reason to give their users access to the internet which was seen as a time waster. I haven't come across that attitude in a very long time, even though there's probably more time wasted now than ever.

Sorry, message board fail. I was saying that you're lucky if you can get web traffic through corporate firewalls unmolested. You can only rarely get anything else out, and virtually never get anything in.
