Subversion x Firewall
Hi!
First, I'm sorry because this is not a subject directly related to
Subversion, but because I'm not a networking guru, I don't know where
to go.
I can't do checkouts from any computer at my university because of the
firewall or proxy, I guess. I'm getting that well known error, "REPORT
bad request etc...". I have just installed svn and have not configured
anything in it (no proxy configuration or something like). The
question is, what should I say to the network admin in order to
configure to firewall (or proxy) to make svn work properly?
Thanks,
--

Some HTTP proxies do not allow DAV. This will need to be allowed to be
able to use Subversion through a HTTP proxy.

Thank you Ryan! I will try to find a list of DAV requests in order to
give it to the network admin.

<https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/trunk> should work.

I'd like to run some simple tests through my company proxy. Can
someone give me some URL to a public HTTPS repository for a few
checkouts ?
(Hoping that a public repos will have https enabled ...)

Esteban, the fact that he's talking about REPORT requests means that
he's already using Apache and not svnserve. He could try svnserve as
a workaround, if the network allows traffic on 3690. But he may have
already decided he needs Apache's flexibility.
Célio, the wisdom I've heard on this list before is that some proxy
servers only allow GET and POST requests but are not configured for
the other types of requests (like REPORT, among others) used by DAV
and required for Subversion. You can either get your proxy admins to
configure their proxy to allow the class of requests used by DAV, or
switch to using HTTPS, which a proxy cannot interfere with, because
the communication is encrypted.

Hi, how are you trying to access svn?? by using svn:// or http://?
I think that perphaps using http:// (mod_dav_svn) you can bypass the proxy..
if not, I have checked in svnbook that svn uses port 3690(udp/tcp). So
you need to have enable that ports for connecting to your svn server.
