[Development] Contributing to the Qt Project behind a hefty firewall and proxy server

[daniel.molkentin at nokia.com]

Hi,

Cutting things short: We are working on a solution, which will probably result in a work around. I will announce once it's done.

There is no point in further discussion. We all agree it sucks. But stupid firewall rules are a reality, like it or not. Let's get back to coding.

Regards,
  Daniel

No, going through 443 is _not_ an option of the firewall, it's like lock-picking a useless lock.

It's not a fix at all. It's a workaround. Important difference!
