FW: [cvsnt] How do I monitor client requests and pserver response s?

[Cummings, Charles (Debt Markets Technology)]

Bo -

You can also try what I finally did to get the information - it was extremely informative.  I ran tcpTrace (www.poketsoap.com), which takes everything on a specified ip/port, logs it to the screen or
to a file and then forwards it to a different ip/port.  I set it up to listen on the default port for the cvsnt server, changed the server to use default + 1 and retrieved all my requests/responses as
passed over the socket (which was exactly what I wanted).

Regards,

Charles

Is there a summary of the environment variables CVS uses and how they are set up?
I would very much like to know how the CVS_CLIENT_LOG setting is done.
Set CVS_CLIENT_LOG=1????
And where does the log wind up? In the command window on WinCvs or elsewhere?

Set the CVS_CLIENT_LOG environment variable on the client.   It'll log
communication both ways.
