Nope. Try FAQ entry 3.14: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/faq.html

Then I sugges that you get a javascript parser and make sure you intrepret
that response page using it.

The last time I had a look, the (only free one I know) javascript parser code
was a bigger code chunk than curl itself.

Unfortunately, no. CVS does not work over proxies.

I hope to have the curl CVS repository converted over to Subversion one day in
the future, and then you'd be able to access the source repository.
