[Savannah-hackers-public] [task #13505] git.savannah.{, non}gnu.org:443 is open but speaks SSH instead of SSL

[Bob Proulx]

Update of task #13505 (project administration):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info              
             Assigned to:                    None => rwp

Follow-up Comment #1:

Yes.  This is an intentional configuration.  Is this a problem for you?

The full rationale for that configuration is lost in time however the comment
with it is:

  SSH on port 443 to "overcome criminally braindead ISPs or servers"

I myself have run across several braindead ISPs that block port 22.  Allowing
ssh on port 443 is a common workaround.

I do not know how many people need this for access to the vcs system.  I
wouldn't want to change it unless there is a good reason for doing so.
