CVS through an HTTP Proxy? Anyone know how to access a CVS server (i.e. SourceForge) though an HTTP Proxy? I need to get the latest CVS version of XDoclet at work and I can only get out via a proxy. Thanks in advance. Posted in Java at Jan 07 2003, 11:37:21 AM MST 9 Comments

Do you know http://transconnect.sourceforge.net/ ? In my company, this allows me to access i.e. Cocoon CVS repository through our company firewall. I don't know, if it works with every proxy. Quite a clever hack.

Extension to my post. transconnect works with Unixen, but I don't think on Windows.

Unfortunately, all I have is Windows and OS X. I tried to "make" it on OSX, but it bombed out :(

WinCVS supports proxy through pserver.

I tried WinCVS and I get the following error: proxy server proxy1.hits.priv:3128 does not support http tunnelling Hmm, maybe I'll try to get someone from the XDoclet team to send me a current snapshot. All I need is the hibernate module.

try http://cvsgrab.sf.net it's a bit slow...but then... it works :)

Since you'll like to get ALL XDoclet, you must know that you can't get the xdoclet-all module, since it's an "alias" to get the 3 existent cvs modules to build xdoclet: xdoclet, xjavadoc and xdocletgui (well xdocletgui is not *required* but nice to have). If you checkout xdoclet-all module using WinCVS you'll get the 3 modules... but it doesn't work with cvsgrab (since it gets a module using the viewcvs page pointing to http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xdoclet/) So, you'll need to grabcvs the 3 modules one by one (or maybe just xdoclet and xjavadoc)...

CVSGrab was exactly what I needed - it's churning away now. Thanks for the tip Fabian and Ricardo!
