CVS and proxy-server

[Michael Wenig]

Hello,

We are not able to connect to external servers without using our
proxy-server.
We want to access external cvs-servers. WinCVS has an option to define a
proxy-server, but response is:

cvs -z9 login
cvs.exe login: unknown method in CVSroot:
:pserver;proxy=proxy2;proxyport=3128:address@hidden:/cvs
cvs.exe [login aborted]: Bad CVSROOT.

*****CVS exited normally with code 1*****

It seems that we need another cvs-version. Where can we get it and will
it work?
Our proxy will not support SOCKS for security-reasons.

Please answer soon - it is an urgent topic with us

Sincereley

Michael Wenig
