Setting SVN (subversion) http proxy
If you are behind a firewall and have a http proxy on your network you probably will need some extra configuration to be able to download subversion repositories that are outside your network.   SVN does not honor the http_proxy environment variable so you will have to set your subversion http proxy into a configuration file called "servers". This file should be under the subversion local data folder.   On linux, this file is under ~/.subversion.   On windows it should be under %APPDATA%\Subversion   Open the file and add the following lines:   [global]  http-proxy-host=[my.host.name.for.my.proxy]  http-proxy-port=[my.hot.http.port.number]  http-proxy-username=[username]  http-proxy-password=[password]   1) If you do not use username and password, comment them using the #  2) you host name should not contain the http scheme (enter just the host name).   Good luck.
