This error can be caused by a reverse proxy or load balancer which does
not support chunked requests. We show the same errors when requests are
proxied through either nginx or squid.

You can work around the issue by proxying through apache+mod_proxy
(which supports HTTP 1.1), but serf 0.30 does not proxy https requests
correctly (it talks ssl to the proxy server instead of issuing a CONNECT
request).

serf really should support a proper fallback to HTTP 1.0 before becoming
the default library, as using a reverse proxy in front of svn is a
common setup and very few of them support HTTP 1.1.
