Many firewalls (for example in offices) also block almost every port
other than 80 or 443. So it'd still be valuable to have a web based
reportbug interface.
Well, usually they just block everything including ports 80 and 443,
often one has to use some invasive proxy setup that may well require you
to give up on any privacy and will occasionally block random URLs
without even returning appropriate HTTP status codes. Which is why
building things offline is also appreciated in some corporate places.
But yes, there is possibly something to be done with a dedicated URI
scheme that would be pre-registered with desktop environnements or
packaged browsers and that would make it possible for a web app to lauch
reportbug and get the data from it.
