I don't, sorry. At work we use a custom proxy which provides this, which I can't share and probably wouldn't be of much use to you even if I could since it's very specific to our setup.

My impression is that typically most hosters are moving away from port 9418 because it isn't encrypted or secured and anonymous HTTPS is just as easy to use. As a consequence, git-daemon isn't typically seeing a lot of development since it is seeing less and less use. Having said that, I'm sure a patch to git-daemon implementing this feature would be welcome, whether from you or from someone else.
