Hi Guys,
I want to check code from the repository http://code.sixapart.com/svn/perlbal/ . I can only access the the repository url by setting a proxy . I guess if i want to get the code from the same url by svn I need to configure a proxy too . so does anyone of you could tell me how to configure a http proxy in svn ?
by the way, I use the command-line svn client under linux.
Most *nixen understand the environment variable 'http_proxy' when performing web requests.
export http_proxy=http://my-proxy-server.com:8080/
svn co http://code.sixapart.com/svn/perlball/
should do the trick. Most http libraries check for this (and other) environment variables.
Have you seen the FAQ entry What if I'm behind a proxy??
... edit your "servers" configuration file to indicate which proxy to use. The files location depends on your operating system. On Linux or Unix it is located in the directory "~/.subversion". On Windows it is in "%APPDATA%\Subversion". (Try "echo %APPDATA%", note this is a hidden directory.)
For me this involved uncommenting and setting the following lines:
#http-proxy-host=http://my.proxy
#http-proxy-port=80
#http-proxy-username=[username]
#http-proxy-password=[password]
You can find the instructions here. Basically you just add
[global]
http-proxy-host = ip.add.re.ss
http-proxy-port = 3128
http-proxy-compression = no
to your ~/.subversion/servers file
