Make bitten work with corporate firewalls

[Sorin Sbarnea <sorin.sbarnea@…>]

Currently there is no documentation regarding bitten interaction with corporate firewalls.

Because bitten is not using a HTTP compatible protocol it will just not work when you install a slave inside an intranet and try to connect to the outside.

This is happening because most corporate firewall are blocking all non standard ports and allowing only HTTP/HTTPS traffic on them.

Usage of HTTP proxy could be a solution if bitten would use a HTTP protocol.

If it is not possible please consider this a documentation bug and update the documentation with this important information.

Remark: doing a search on the website using firewall bring zero relevant results at this moment.

Keyboard: proxy http firewall corporate

This is no longer an issue as Bitten and its Master-Slave communication is now plain HTTP. See the wiki:MasterSlaveProtocolHttp for details. Bitten 0.5.3 was the last release using BEEP protocol.
