How to realize HTTP Tunnel in MyDAC?(Not ssh,ssl)

HTTP Tunneling is a method for connecting to a MySQL server that uses the same protocol (http://) and the same port (port 80) as a webserver does. It is used while your ISPs do not allow direct connections to their MySQL server, but allows establishing HTTP connections.

Upload a php file to webserver. The php file exposes the MySQL API as a set of web-services which is used by MyDac.

Example products:
Navicat (http://www.navicat.com/)
SQLYog (http://www.webyog.com/)
Mysql-front
datadmin(http://datadmin.com)
EMS SQL Manager (http://www.sqlmanager.net/products/mysql/manager)
......

We are investigating the possibility to add such feature to MyDAC in one of future versions.

Has there been any progress on this. Will definitely purchase if http tunnelling is supported.

Cheers

Currently MyDAC is integrated with SecureBridge, which supports SHH tunneling and SSL.

Unfortunately for me SSH and SSL are not options. The databases I am working with are behind a firewall that can only be accessed via HTTP tunnelling, so back to the drawing board for me

We do not plan to implement http tunneling in nearest future, because in the meantime we have many tasks of a higher priority.
