Re: how to set proxy settings

From: janaka priyadarshana <rpjanaka_at_gmail.com>

this is the problem again

i am using ubuntu 7.04

i want to connect to the theora svn ()

so when i gave the command

svn co http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/theora
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/trunk/theora'
svn: PROPFIND of '/trunk/theora': could not connect to server (
http://svn.xiph.org)

 this error massage was given.

i suggest that the reason may be the proxy server does not allow to do this.

so i read the instruction given in
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#proxy

but i was unable to understand what it says (sorry for my less knowledge).

so this is the my "server" configuration file which is located in the home
directory.

***************************************************************************************

### This file specifies server-specific protocol parameters,
### including HTTP proxy information, and HTTP timeout settings.
###
### The currently defined server options are:
### http-proxy-host Proxy host for HTTP connection
### http-proxy-port Port number of proxy host service
### http-proxy-username Username for auth to proxy service
### http-proxy-password Password for auth to proxy service
### http-proxy-exceptions List of sites that do not use proxy
### http-timeout Timeout for HTTP requests in seconds
### http-compression Whether to compress HTTP requests
### neon-debug-mask Debug mask for Neon HTTP library
### ssl-authority-files List of files, each of a trusted CAs
### ssl-trust-default-ca Trust the system 'default' CAs
### ssl-client-cert-file PKCS#12 format client certificate file
### ssl-client-cert-password Client Key password, if needed.
###
### HTTP timeouts, if given, are specified in seconds. A timeout
### of 0, i.e. zero, causes a builtin default to be used.
###
### The commented-out examples below are intended only to
### demonstrate how to use this file; any resemblance to actual
### servers, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

### In this section, the URL of the repository you're trying to
### access is matched against the patterns on the right. If a
### match is found, the server info is from the section with the
### corresponding name.

[groups]
# group1 = *.collab.net
# othergroup = repository.blarggitywhoomph.com
# thirdgroup = *.example.com

### Information for the first group:
# [group1]
### http-proxy-host = cache.mrt.ac.lk
### http-proxy-port = 3128
### http-proxy-username =
### http-proxy-password =
### http-timeout = 60
### neon-debug-mask = 130

### Information for the second group:
# [othergroup]
### http-proxy-host = cache.mrt.ac.lk
### http-proxy-port = 3128
# No username and password, so use the defaults below.

### You can set default parameters in the 'global' section.
### These parameters apply if no corresponding parameter is set in
### a specifically matched group as shown above. Thus, if you go
### through the same proxy server to reach every site on the
### Internet, you probably just want to put that server's
### information in the 'global' section and not bother with
### 'groups' or any other sections.
###
### If you go through a proxy for all but a few sites, you can
### list those exceptions under 'http-proxy-exceptions'. This only
### overrides defaults, not explicitly matched server names.
###
### 'ssl-authority-files' is a semicolon-delimited list of files,
### each pointing to a PEM-encoded Certificate Authority (CA)
### SSL certificate. See details above for overriding security
### due to SSL.
[global]
# http-proxy-exceptions = *.exception.com, www.internal-site.org
# http-proxy-host = cache.mrt.ac.lk
# http-proxy-port = 3128
### http-proxy-username =
### http-proxy-password =
# http-compression = no
# No http-timeout, so just use the builtin default.
# No neon-debug-mask, so neon debugging is disabled.
# ssl-authority-files = /path/to/CAcert.pem;/path/to/CAcert2.pem

***************************************************************************************

the above file does not include any field such as

   # TAG: extension_methods
   # Squid only knows about standardized HTTP request methods.
   # You can add up to 20 additional "extension" methods here.
   #
   #Default:
   # none
   extension_methods REPORT MERGE MKACTIVITY CHECKOUT

so i am really confused with the given explanation under "what if i am
behind a proxy"

please now if u can suggest the reason, help me to solve this

if this is not enough please tell me what are the needed other informations.
