Thank you all for your help with arriving at solution. I'll describe it below; perhaps it would help somebody else (now that it is in mailing list archive). First, let me explain what I am working with: I have access to shell account with set up SSH key access; let's name this machine host.example.com. I don't have admin rights there, and quota is quite tight; I have installed netcat (nc) in ~/bin - it is only 22 kB. I don't know where to find SOCKS5 proxy, and I don't have 'tsocks' installed either on my computer, or on shell account... I think. Now, solutions: 1. For reading gitweb at repo.or.cz, and for reading and editing git wiki at http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/ I use one of free HTTP proxies: http://www.4proxy.de (first such proxy I have found that has an option to _not_ obfuscate URLs; it still unnecessary escapes some things like '/' in the query argument). 2. For pushing changes to repo.or.cz I use SSH tunnel (I could have used ProxyCommand solution with netcat instead[1]). I run: $ autossh -M 2000 -f -N -L 2222:repo.or.cz:22 jnareb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at startup, and I have set the following in ~/.ssh/config: # TP S.A. blocks repo.or.cz Host repo.or.cz #ssh -f -N -L 2222:repo.or.cz:22 host.example.com NoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost yes HostName localhost Port 2222 [1] Alternate solution: # TP S.A. blocks repo.or.cz Host repo.or.cz ProxyCommand ssh host.example.com exec /home/jnareb/bin/nc %h %p 3. For fetching changes via git:// protocol from repo.or.cz I use the following setup in git config: [core] gitProxy = ssh-proxy for "repo.or.cz" Unfortunately example from Documentation/config.txt with "ssh" as git proxy command doesn't work, and neither putting command with options (e.g. "ssh host.example.com /home/jnareb/bin/nc") doesn't work: the command is _not_ split on whitespace. So I had to use helper script ~/bin/ssh-proxy: #!/bin/sh ssh host.example.com /home/jnareb/bin/nc "$1" "$2" I hope that would help somebody... and if somebody notices better solution, hs/she would provide me with it :-) -- Jakub Narebski Poland -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
