svn checkout problem with http address

[Jing Jin <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am new subversion user. I installed subversion in the ubuntu linux
yesterday, but I cannot get it to work with http address. The "svn co"
command will result in a timeout error after an hour.

I have done some tests on my computer. I can do "svn co" with https and svn
address, e.g. svn://svn.openttd.org/trunk. But for http address, there is a
problem. I can see the directory and files using a browser, e.g.
http://svn.openttd.org/trunk, but "svn co" does not work.

Also I tried to "svn co" on another machine and network for the same
address, and it worked fine.

Can anybody help me with that issue?

Thank you.

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for your reply. But I don't think that is the proxy problem.
Because I used my computer at home and it should link to a public network
offered by Pavlov Media. But I do use a wireless router to connect to the
internet since I have more than one computer. Do you think that will be the
problem?

Thank you,

Perhaps your network has a proxy server that doesn't understand WebDAV HTTP methods. You could talk to your network administrator about fixing the proxy server. Or if available you could use HTTPS since a proxy can't mangle encrypted traffic.
