svn checkout problem with http address

[Jing Jin]

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.

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.

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,
