Try
[root at localhost root]# export 
CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous at cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot
[root at localhost root]# cvs co <module name>

Note, there does not appear to be a module name called httpc in this CVS 
server...

You might want to visit:
http://mozilla.org/catalog/development/compiling/cvs-sourcecode.html

This explicitly informs you *NOT* to checkout mozilla, but rather ftp 
download the archive, and then update the tree.
