[Monotone-devel] Re: monotone and http_proxy??

[Will Robertson]

This doesn't appear to work for the 0.8 tgz on the website...  I assume  
I'd have to get access to the monotone depot to get the working  
version?  Unfortunately my only access to the Web is through my work's  
squid proxy, which includes access from home...

Is there any way to get the necessary patches or a working diff of the  
current vs. the web 0.8 tgz in order to get this feature?

Or is there a way to get the depot to send packets to some other client   
e.g. maybe using 'wget' with the right '?q=' and dumping stdout to a  
file, then importing that file into the db?
I've seen this post:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/monotone-devel/2003-12/msg00007.html

=========
$ wget -O - \
'http://www.off.net/monotone/depot/monotone?q=since&major=0&minor=0' \
| monotone read
==========

but it doesn't seem to work...
