Get an "admin" port suitable for long-running HTTP connections (for e.g. big imports that take more than 1 minute)

README

Edit your dotcloud.yml file to add the "ports" section as shown in the sample dotcloud.yml.
Add a supervisord.conf to start the socat program.
Push your code. Use "dotcloud info" to retrieve the host+port to be used for your admin connection (it's conveniently named "admin" since it's what we requested in dotcloud.yml). Enjoy!
