How to configure a HTTP proxy for svn

问题:

I want to check code from the repository http://code.sixapart.com/svn/perlbal/ . I can only access the the repository url by setting a proxy. I guess if I want to get the code from the same URL by svn I need to configure a proxy, too. So does anyone of you could tell me how to configure a HTTP proxy in svn?

By the way, I use the command-line svn client under Linux.

Have you seen the FAQ entry What if I'm behind a proxy??

... edit your "servers" configuration file to indicate which proxy to use. The files location depends on your operating system. On Linux or Unix it is located in the directory "~/.subversion". On Windows it is in "%APPDATA%\Subversion". (Try "echo %APPDATA%", note this is a hidden directory.)

For me this involved uncommenting and setting the following lines:

#http-proxy-host=my.proxy
#http-proxy-port=80
#http-proxy-username=[username]
#http-proxy-password=[password]

You can find the instructions here. Basically you just add

[global]
http-proxy-host = ip.add.re.ss
http-proxy-port = 3128
http-proxy-compression = no

to your ~/.subversion/servers file.

In windows 7, you may have to edit this file

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\servers

[global]
http-proxy-host = ip.add.re.ss
http-proxy-port = 3128

There are two common approaches for this:

• Specify http-proxy- options in your /etc/.subversion/servers or %APPDATA%\Subversion\servers file,

• Use --config-option command-line option to specify the same http-proxy- options in single command-line you run. For example,

  svn checkout ^
  --config-option servers:global:http-proxy-host=<PROXY-HOST> ^
  --config-option servers:global:http-proxy-port=<PORT> <REPO-URL> <LWC-DIR> 
  

If you are on Windows, you can also write http-proxy- options to Windows Registry. It's pretty handy if you need to apply proxy settings in Active Directory environment via Group Policy Objects.

In TortoiseSVN you can configure the proxy server under Settings=> Network

回答6:

Most *nixen understand the environment variable 'http_proxy' when performing web requests.

export http_proxy=http://my-proxy-server.com:8080/
svn co http://code.sixapart.com/svn/perlball/

should do the trick. Most http libraries check for this (and other) environment variables.
