[OT] CVS with a firewall

[Scott Carlson]

Emmanuel,
I'm guess you're at work and have this restriction? First make sure you won't get fired for this....
Do you have a remote server that you control? ie. Your home machine that is always on? If so you could setup a proxy daemon that would accept a connection on 443 (HTTPS which is most likely also open) and proxy the real connection. Locally, you'll probably you'll have to to run a program like stunnel (http://stunnel.mirt.net/), to create the connection locally.
A little more flexible would be to run an OpenSSH server on that same remote 443 port. When you connect with your ssh client you can port forward to all the CVS sites you need.
If you need help setting something like this up, contact me off the list.
Goodluck
Scott

Hi,
I want to connect to a CVS server (apache, sourceforge...) but I behind a firewall, is there a
solution to use CVS with the port 80 ? And if it's possible, inside Eclipse ;)
