Package: rtc.debian.org
Severity: important

Users sometimes access the Internet through wifi networks in large
hotels and airports and other unusual networks where only port 80 and
443 are working and other ports are not working.  Sometimes port 443 is
only accessible through a HTTP proxy using the HTTP CONNECT method.

Each of the services (SIP, XMPP and TURN) should be adjusted to accepted
client connections on port 443.

This should probably be done for the TURN server first.

This is important to maximize connectivity, to ensure users can always
be online whenever they want to be, e.g. if somebody experiences a
flight cancellation and they are stuck at an airport and they need to
call somebody else, they shouldn't be forced to pay mobile roaming
charges if they can do it through wifi and SIP.
