Proxy support

[Fredrik Orderud]

Vercue seems to have problems with SVN sources behind a HTTP(S) proxy.
Instead of showing the log, Vercue displays a grey "-" circle for all
my sources behind a proxy. The same sources works perfectly fine in
TortoiseSVN.

Is this a known issue?

Hi Fredrik,

Can you please send me the logs to my private email?

adriana...@gmail.com

The logs are located under %appdata%\Vercue\Logs.

Thanks,

Adrian

You will find relevant sections from the log below. <repo-name> is the
source & repository name, and <server-name> is the server DNS name.

It seems like the problem is related to Vercue not being able to ping
repositories behind a HTTP(S) proxy. I'm also unable to ping the
server from my command-line, but that doesn't stop TortoiseSVN from
functioning.

[Adrian Aisemberg]

Did you set a proxy in TortoiseSVN's settings (Under "Network") or in the Windows settings (Internet Options) ?

Thanks,

Adrian

I've configured proxy settings in both TortoiseSVN (hardcoded proxy IP
& port) and the Windows control panel internet properties (automatic
proxy configuration script). Both TortoiseSVN and internet explorer
are perfectly able to connect to the SVN repository in question.

[Adrian Aisemberg]

Hi,

Thanks for the update.

There is a hidden tweak in the configuration file that allows Vercue to skip checking for ping replies.

Please close the app and open the config file in a text editor:

%appdata%\vercue\config.xml

Search for IgnoreNoPing and set the value to true.

Start the app again and see if it helps.

Thanks,

Adrian

Thank you! Setting "IgnoreNoPing" to "True" solved my problem. :-)

You should probably consider making this default, since many firewalls
and proxy servers are configured to block ping requests.

Thanks,
Fredrik

Thanks for the update.

The motivation behind this feature is because trying to perform SVN operations is a much more resource consuming operation rather than a simple ping. If a server has no ping-back then there is no point in trying to perform the SVN operation.

Your case shows that the ping feature is not fully sync'ed with the proxy settings.

The IgnoreNoPing feature is currently a hidden tweak and once it becomes stable - I'll add it to the options dialog.

Thanks,

Adrian
