cvsimport using proxy?

cvsimport using proxy?

[Junio C Hamano]

I was going to try cvsimport over the firewall --

CVSROOT=':pserver;proxy=firewall;proxyport=3128:anoncvs@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot' cvs co -c

works fine, but it does not appear to me that cvsimport knows
about the proxied connection.  Is anybody savvy and helpful
enough to look into adding this?

HTTP proxies are quite simple, you say 

   1. Connect to Proxy Server.
   2. Issue CONNECT Host:Port HTTP/1.1<CR><LF>.
   3. Issue <CR><LF>.
   4. Wait for a line of response.
      If it contains HTTP/1.X 200 , the connection is successful.
   5. Read further lines of response until you receive an empty line.
   6. Now, you are connected to outside world through a proxy.
      Do any data exchange you want.

Even simpler is to use transconnect, which transparently uses the proxy by 
intercepting the connect method using LD_PRELOAD.
