How can I use a version control system behind a authenticating HTTP proxy. Note that I said "a VCS" , so it can be SVN, CVS , BAZAAR ... I've tried several SVN clients -- they do not work. It looks like BZR has an option for that , but I've seen no public mention of it. Help.
A:
In Bazaar, set the HTTP_PROXY or HTTPS_PROXY environment variables with a command like:
export HTTP_PROXY="http://[email protected]:3128
It should then prompt you for a password when you interact with remote servers.

Have you tried the suggestions on the Subversion web site? Link
I've found that, if their suggestions don't work, It'll be just as hard getting any other VCS working.
What problems have you run into?

I configured SVN as the website says, but it still doesn't work. Do I need to specify anything else apart from the proxy address , port , username and password? Also , I think that the proxy I'm using only allows traffic through port 80 ...

Some more examination shows that SVN is going haywire trying to connect to 4XXX ports on the proxy (which I think the proxy does not allow). Can SVN work with only port 80?

First: Are you trying to get the client or the server working?Second: If you're trying to use the client, could you post a sample of the URL you are using?Third: If you're trying to use the server, I'd recommend using the Apache integration.

A:
Have you tried the SVN client TortoiseSVN? Click:
TortoiseSVN/Settings/Network
...and you can fill in your proxy settings, including username and password, if required.
