This started as a convsersation about requirements, not solutions.

However, since you mention a solution: as far as I know, the
layering of HTTPR over HTTP/POST is a pragmatic choice and it could
be layered over a real transport just as well. But real transports
aren't known for penetrating firewalls either.
