Re: [platform-vcm-dev] Proxy connection to SCM ?
|
Hi Chris,
CVS uses the pserver protocol, which needs a plain socket connection.
It can easily run through a socks server, but with a little care, you
can tweak it to be tunneled through a http proxy using ssl tunneling.
The details are in http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=9149
but note that it requires that the http proxy server allows connections to
other ports than 443.
If all else fails, you can setup a kind of http tunnel that emulates a
plain socket while beneath the covers making multiple http
connections. This is a bit complex though, but it can be done (I have
working code that does this).
