Question

I’m trying to access the eclipse source code in cvs, but unfortunately, the location I’m at blocks all non-standard tcp/ip ports. I spoke with a sysadmin on the phone, and he recommended that I try to find a way to download the source using the port 80 or port 443 proxy listed at: http://wiki.eclipse.org/CVS_Howto#CVS_and_firewalls

The problem I’m having is that neither of the sites (proxy.eclipse.org:80 and pebbles.eclipse.org:443) do not seem to be available to connect to using either the CVS in eclipse or tortoiseCVS. I’ve been trying to connect using the following setup:

Host: proxy.eclipse.org
Repository Path: /cvsroot/eclipse
User: Anonymous
Pass: <blank>
Connection Type: pserver
Use Port: 80

I’ve also tried:

Host: pebbles.eclipse.org
Repository Path: /cvsroot/eclipse
User: Anonymous
Pass: <blank>
Connection Type: pserver
Use Port: 443

Both of these give me the following exception when I try to fetch the module list:
Could not connect to:

I/O exception occurred: No response from server.

Thoughts on this? Perhaps there is a newer server to download the source that I’m missing?

Thanks!
