tortoisesvn browser vs win repo browser

Hello,
I have a svn server configured with https.
I managed to browse the repo from a web browser (chrome) where it did ask me
for auth username and passwd.
However, using the exact same https://ipaddress as I used in the browser, 
win repo browser of tortoisesvn fails saying "OPTIONS of https://ipaddress
could not connect to server.

The tortoisesvn repo browser has worked from another IP area.

regards,

MM

I'm also thinking "proxy server". Your browser may have a proxy server
configured, but for use with any svn client (including TortoiseSVN),
you have to configure the proxy server in the client-side config file
(the file "servers" in %APPDATA%/Subversion). Or for TortoiseSVN: just
open the Settings, and go to "Network".

When you browse a repository in a web browser, only GET requests get sent. But when you use a real Subversion client, like TortoiseSVN, it uses other WebDAV methods, including OPTIONS. What you're seeing could be the result of a proxy that's not configured to pass WebDAV methods. Try disabling the use of the proxy, or if that's not possible, talk to your proxy administrator about supporting WebDAV methods.
