Re: Tunneling

Martin,

Thanks for the quick response.  We are trying to create a solution where a
client is behind a firewall where connections out to tcp/2401 (pserver)
are not allowed.

What we are trying to do is to tunnel/encapsulate normal cvs traffic
through port tcp/80 (or 443) as http traffic.  The remote cvs server would
be running a servlet which listens on tcp/80 (or 443) and then connect the
client to the normal pserver on that host.  We would like the serlvet to
connect to the pserver since we do not want to handle client
authentication.

Have you come across this scenario before?  We are especially looking into
how to properly handle this on the client.  Ie, a client making normal cvs
requests and having those changed into http traffic and passed out via
tcp80/443.

Thanks

Jim
