Re: firewalls blocking CVS

Hi,
I went through the complete document and suggested methods (tor did
not work either). For port 443 approach, the catch is here.

-- Part of the document from the link you had sent ----
Note: we implemented that method, without warranty, for project member
SSH access only - not anonymous access. Anonymous access is available
via pserver which ought to be available to you, just like HTTP.

The have enabled 443 as an alternative to 22. Port 22 is used only by
project members with commit access. It does not really help people
like me (involved in the emacs project but not part of the core).

Thank you for taking this up seriously. Since it is a policy issue, I
decided to mail it to this list too.
