You can't work around a firewall otherwise it wouldn't be much of a firewall. I think you'll either have to convince them to change the policy or find out what they will allow to talk to the web service and work out a way to talk to that instead. I think we have a similar situation where we have to use a windows .net application to interface with an SMSC. That interfaces on the back end via http to apache and our RPG based app.
