SSH tunneling is not possible in PaaS environments.

Or more directly, there is a high impedance mismatch between PaaS and existing SSH server solutions, for my reasons above.

I'm not giving up on SSH for CloudFoundry altogether, but Caldecott is an elegant solution that fits our constraints and solves one of our customers' problems.

I don't know if I'd go so far as to say TCP over HTTP is an "elegant solution" but it works well enough in the absence of SSH.

The Stackato client supports this now as well.
