You need to use a solution *outside* the firewall.

Shell access on a virtual server is cheap - check if port 22 is
blocked. SSH dynamic port forwarding will get you unlimtied access via
a socks 4 proxy.

Alternatively you need an external proxy that renames files. If you're
prepared to do some *work* - you could start with approx -

As it's a CGI it can be used with quite a cheap hosting account....

All the best,
