Are there any specific caching proxies that are known to work with the
current ra_serf to speed-up things like repeated checkouts? I've
tried Squid, Apache 2.2 and Polipo. They all work with Neon, but when
I try to use Serf no requests work. I always get an error:
subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c:558: (apr_err=47)
svn: Error running context: Address family not supported by protocol family
In servers I have:
[global]
http-proxy-host = 127.0.0.1
http-proxy-port = 8080
http-library = serf
I am guessing this has something to do with HTTP 1.1 ?
