There's also the port numbers.  The cobalt uses port 80, 81 and some others
I don't currently remember.

My suggest is to try a web proxy + ssh forwarding.  Assuming the proxy
is on the same machine as the sshd, you can do something like this:

	ssh -G -L 8080:localhost:3128 your.sshd.box

Then set your web browser to use your machine, port 8080 as a web proxy.
I've not tried this, but it should work.
