He probably can, but the firewall still gets in the way when he tries to do the svn checkout - his firewall is incapable of forwarding OPTIONS and other methods used by subversion. Hence he needs to use https, as the firewall then puts through all traffic unmodified, thanks to the CONNECT method. So there will be no chance that he can checkout the berlios externals directly, as their URL is defined in the Python repository (and will remain at http, for the sake of most of us with sane networking environments) Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
