I'm trying to set up my Win7 work laptop so I can access my svn repos. My repository is set up on a Linux box at home and works fine from all of the my machines, including my work laptop when I'm not connected to the work network.
The problem comes when I try to access through the proxy - I've added the proxy settings in the TortoiseSVN settings panel, when I try to check out a project, it starts downloading and runs for about 6.5MB before giving up and complaining that the remote connection was closed. The repository I'm testing with only has a single text file in it, it's nowhere near 6MB. From what I can work out in my router logs, the requests from work weren't getting through, so I don't know what it was downloading!
It appears there is an issue with the web proxy at work, I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do about it? It's a Microsoft ISA server, and I don't have much control over its configuration, so I'm really hoping there is a solution, I'm just not sure where to start.
Edit: I can browse the repository via HTTP through my work proxy just fine, just can't seem to do anything using svn. I also tried installing SVN proper and doing it from a DOS command line, that didn't work at all, I got the remote connection closed error after just a few seconds and no downloading of phantom giant files.
Thanks
how about working this issue around by setting up https server at home?
isa is not finjan.. it should just forward the traffic without interfering with actual communication.
Assuming your repo is accessible via HTTP try browsing to your repo from a web browser and see what you get. It could be that the proxy is asking for authentication that Tortoise isn't sending it.
If you don't have it set up to be accessed via HTTP then you'll want to do that in order to get to it from behind your proxy.
