Using a http or socks proxy with svn:// protocol

[fpiette]

Hi !

I cannot make TortoiseSVN V1.5 use the proxy settings when using the
svn:// protocol to access a repository.

It looks like TortoiseSVN use the proxy settings only when accessing
the repository with http. Unfortunately the repository I have to
access support only the svn:// protocol.

I would like to be able to use either HTTP proxy or SOCKS proxy with
svn:// protocol.

Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.

This would have to go to one of the Subversion mailing lists, as it's
the Subversion libraries in question here, not TSVN itself.

HTTP proxies by definition only handle HTTP traffic. svn:// is not
HTTP, so that's not going to happen.

The above statament is NOT TRUE! I have working ssh and some other services by HTTP Proxy in my company.

And I have problem with SVN protocol, too.

Only if your HTTP proxy also proxies HTTPS, and only if the destination
port you want to connect to isn't filtered in some way - which it often
is by limiting HTTPS connections to port 443.

But yes, HTTP proxies can tunnel HTTPS and other outbound requests that
aren't HTTP, as can SOCKS proxies.
