Esteban, the fact that he's talking about REPORT requests means that
he's already using Apache and not svnserve. He could try svnserve as
a workaround, if the network allows traffic on 3690. But he may have
already decided he needs Apache's flexibility.
Célio, the wisdom I've heard on this list before is that some proxy
servers only allow GET and POST requests but are not configured for
the other types of requests (like REPORT, among others) used by DAV
and required for Subversion. You can either get your proxy admins to
configure their proxy to allow the class of requests used by DAV, or
switch to using HTTPS, which a proxy cannot interfere with, because
the communication is encrypted.
