In theory, it would be possible to access a CVS server through a HTTP proxy, that has HTTPS tunneling enabled. The client sends "CONNECT cvs.server.com:2401 HTTP/1.0<cr><lf><cr><lf>" and the server replies with: "HTTP/1.0 200 OK Connection established<cr><lf><cr><lf>" After this, all traffic is now tunneled directly through the server. Note that not all proxy servers support connecting to a port other than 443 (since this is meant to be used for tunneling https through the proxy) so if a response code other than 200 is received, it means that the connection failed. Note also that HTTP/1.0 can also be HTTP/1.1. What do you think about it ? It should be too hard to implement.
Will revisit once we've stabilized Team CVS 2.0

Reopening for 2.1 investigation
I wouldn't mind helping, but I need a little guidance on where in the code this belongs, and on how it should be activated/configured by the user.
Is anyone looking at this anymore??? This is very important to us. I'm a contributor to CDT but not yet a committer, so I can't use the SSH protocol (which has HTTP proxy support). I've tried using WinCVS as my client instead but it is bloody tedious as there are literally hundreds of modules that I need to grab from both Eclipse and CDT, and WinCVS forces you to type them all in manually. If this is not going to be implemented, could we get an anonymous SSH account created with read only priveleges?
The CVS client will work with a proxy setup, I've tested with sourceforge. I've entered a bug against eclipse.org to enable proxy support to the their CVS repos. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 87918 ***
This is not a duplicate of bug 87918. That bug addresses the eclipse website. This bug addresses the ability to connect to ANY cvs repository from the Team - CVS capability within Eclipse through a proxy server that would be setup in the Eclipse settings. I just wanted to clarify any confusion, and as far as I know it is not being worked on yet. I believe this should be reset as OPEN.
Ok, you are correct but it just reminded me that eclipse.org has never been setup to help people like Chris. I'll re-open, but we have no plans to fix this. A contribution would be welcome.
There is currently no plan to address this item
This was added in 3.2. Both the extssh and pserver connection methods use the proxy support.
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported. Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
