Re: How to check out xalan source code using svn ?

[Dean O'Connor <de...@ite.com.au>]

just to add my 2 cents worth ...

I was trying to do a SVN checkout from work using HTTP. It failed. Our 
ops guys said to use HTTPS, which worked fine.
The reason was because our work HTTP Proxy could not handle (ie. not 
configured I guess) websvn requests.
So I imagine this could be quite common for people behind work firewalls.
So always try HTTPS if HTTP doesn't work for you.

Cheers
Dean.
