svn project website: error in FAQ

http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#proxy

The config line suggested there is syntactically incorrect, at
least for svn-1611.

It'd also be nice to assist people who don't have information
about the proxy used e.g. by their ISP, and/or people who get
totally obscure errors with their svn client and don't realize
it's because of a proxy. Example:
> apr_error: #20014, src_err 0 : <Error string not specified yet>
>   The OPTIONS status was 400, but expected 200.
Not everybody interpretes this as "Hang up and dial into a less
crippled internet service" immediately.


(Note: Though I usually subscribe to MLs I post to I'm not
subscribed to dev@subversion.)

I'll look into it later this week (don't hold your breath).

Stefan, can you trace this to the exact point in the code?  (I'm not
behind a proxy, so it's harder to get the exact same result).

It would be good for us to put a better error message in, but I'm not
sure precisely where to do it.

That config option is for Squid, not for Subversion :-).

Thanks, that's a good idea.  When the repos comes back up, we'll do
that.
