Do not you think it would be easier just to find any jabber server that 
works on the port 80? (for example http://www.jabber80.com ). But I am 
not sure if those services use "classic" XMPP connections working on 
different port or maybe HTTP binding that would be much more difficult 
to block on firewalls...
