Pascal, Neale, and Tom,
Thanks for your help with this.
At first I was confused by your response that I needed to tell squid
about the REPORT method because, I'm pretty sure I don't have squid
running on my machine. Then I used Ethereal to capture the packets that
went back and forth between my machine and Billy Bob's Bait, Tackle,
Tattoos, Telephone and Internet Services and I saw a packet that said
that their squid server had rejected the REPORT message because it had
an invalid method.
After several phone conversations with their support people that went
something like:
Me: I need to talk to someone who supports you squid server.
Support: Would you hold a second please?
..... two or three minutes ....
Support: What are you trying to do?
Me: I'm trying to use Subversion as a software version manager and
I'm getting a message back from your squid server that the REPORT
message is not a valid HTTP method.
Support: Uuuummmm, ... Would you please hold on a minute?
.... long pause ....
Support: What makes you think the problem is with our server?
Me: Well, I have been having problems with subversion being able to
access a remote server and I captured the packets being sent and the
response says that it comes from squid.ss.bbbtttis.com. It says that
REPORT is not a valid method.
Support: Could you please hold on a minute?
..... .....
Support: you shouldn't be using 'www' in front of the URL.
Me: I'm not. I told you the URL is svn.mythtv.org/
Support: Could you please hold on?
.... etc. ....
Any way I finally sent an e-mail to their technical people with the dump
of the packets and suggesting that they needed to add
extension_methods REPORT MERGE MKACTIVITY CHECKOUT
to the squid.conf file.
I just got back an e-mail saying
svn.mythtv.org (70.84.9.188) was excluded from out proxy servers.
Now cvs should run fine.
and when I tried svn it works!!
Thanks for your replies, I couldn't have done it without you :-)
Carl.
