[Savannah-hackers] Access Through Firewall

[evandro . menezes]

This is perhaps a quite common issue, but I'd appreciate if you could pint me 
to some sort of FAQ on this subject.

Because of our strict firewall, only HTTP tunneling is possible.  pserver works 
fine, but SSH requires an application such as putty to go through it.

Here are my setup and the messages I get:



$ cat ~/bin/$CVS_RSH
#!/bin/shplink -load ${PLINK_SESSION:-GCC} -batch -v $@

$ echo $CVS_RSH
plink.sh

$ cvs -d :ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gcc co gcc -r lno-branch

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
