RTMPT problems... HELP!!!

Question

We're working on a big project with a Beta due monday. It's a
flash network game produced for a large Swedish bank. Since it's
going to run on bank computers, the firewalls won't allow anything
but RTMPT traffic on port 80. Our client and server side scripting
works fine... except with RTMPT.

When we use RTMPT we can connect to the server and read
information from a SharedObject. We cannot however call or recieve
calls for methods on the NetConnection or se updates on the
SharedObjects. After a while the connection dies but the
RTMPT-connected client does not notice. If other clients are
connected through RTMP, they can se the RTMPT clients connect and
disconnect.

All connections are made on port 80.

Ideas anyone?

Are you absolutely certain you're not connecting through a proxy? It's pretty unusual for large organisations not to have some kind of proxy these days. I'm starting from the assumption that your application works fine for RTMP, and that the only difference between RTMP and RTMPT clients is the port and protocol you use when you set them up. If this is the case, it seems that the problem must lie between yourself and the user.

You could start getting someone who is having the problem to try this link:

If there's a tunnelling problem it should show up there.

There are several articles about HTTP tunnelling, including:

I suppose that a bank might have all kinds of security policies enforced on its firewalls. It would be worth asking.
