apt-method-over https

Not having https in apt method is really annoying? The reason my campus monitor the traffic wat goes in wat goes out between each village. Any packet larger then 2mb will be filtered out.
The only option to you can say bypass "but i would say sending receiving large packet in a legitimate way is either using tcp connect or https (http connect) either way it`s the same.

Happily found this cool debian package apt-method-over-https . What it does it creates a drop-in HTTPs packet using LWP tools. And now my vision to create the ubuntu repository is not restricted in my own village but by the whole campus :)
Dependencies required:
libwww-perl
OpenSsl
