[sheflug] Squid and Subversion

[Peter Humphrey <prh [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone managed to get these two working together?

My firewall machine has a squid proxy, which intercepts all outgoing Web 
traffic so as to reduce duplicate Net traffic. It does this by listening on 
port 3128 and by having Shorewall redirect outgoing HTTP requests to squid.

Recently my desktop has had a problem with SVN, thus:

-- 
# /usr/bin/svn co http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/vmware/trunk/ \ 
/usr/portage/local/layman/vmware
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/proj/vmware/trunk'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/proj/vmware/trunk': 400 Bad Request 
(http://overlays.gentoo.org)
-- 

Googling for ideas revealed some extension methods I need to define to 
squid, thus:

-- 
# grep extension_methods squid.conf
extension_methods REPORT MERGE MKACTIVITY CHECKOUT
-- 

This is supposed to get SVN working through squid, but it doesn't. The 
problem appeared just after I'd rebuilt the desktop box, so it looks as 
though I've misconfigured something at this end, but I can't think what.

I've installed subversion on the desktop box without apache2 support since I 
don't want to run a server.

If I recompile svn with USE=nowebdav I get:

-- 
# /usr/bin/svn co 
http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/vmware/trunk/ /usr/portage/local/layman/vmware
svn: Unrecognized URL scheme 
for 'http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/vmware/trunk'
-- 

so it looks as though I'd better put webdav back in.

Any ideas, anyone?
