Issue with svn and https network repository access

[dmf]

I know this is not strictly an EA issue, but when trying to use subversion from within EA (or via command line svn) on a windows platform accessing a network repository via https, svn always crashes when trying to lock a file.  It works fine with a 'local' repository. Any ideas?  We use TortoiseSVN also, which works fine.  Any workarounds if this is a known issue?

I had a very similar problem. 'svn lock' said, it could not connect to the server. But TurtoiseSVN could lock the file.

For me, the company's proxy server was the problem. It did not allow all the necessary http- methods svn needs (http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#http-methods). The workaround was to use the https protocol. Now it works!

Maybe, this helps ....
