--- Comment #6 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
This is an interesting one, and Dan is in Australia as well, so I'm extra
interested.

I'd need to know more about the network ecosystem at the school, but it sounds
like all outbound network traffic is blocked, unless it uses a HTTP forward
proxy. Of course, that means that they'll be restricted to only using HTTP (or
maybe just ports 80 and 443 depending on the type of proxy). 

Since Z39.50 tends to use ports 210 or 7090, that's not going to be an option. 

SRU could be an option, since it uses HTTP, but the SCIS website seems to
suggest it only has Z39.50 for programmatic access
(https://www.scisdata.com/products/scis-data/). 

Looking at https://metacpan.org/pod/ZOOM and
https://software.indexdata.com/yaz/doc/zoom.html, there is a proxy option, so
if it's not a HTTP forward proxy and is just a TCP proxy... then that could be
investigated as an option. 

Happy to chat with Dan in any case.
