svn checkout error E120107 while setting up SSL Tunnel and unable to connect to a repository
svn
Solution
Verify proxy settings of your Subversion client. Proxy settings are specified in `servers` file:
- `%APPDATA%\Subversion\servers` on Windows,
- `/etc/subversion/servers` on Linux.
Upgrade your Subversion client. This could be a bug in serf library, see Serf Issue 120: "Error with ssl tunnel over proxy with KeepAlive off and Basic authentication".
Problem
I am trying to checkout SWEET source code via the command ``` svn co --username ****** --password ******** https://v-lagerlunda.ita.mdh.se:8443/svn/wcet/sweet/trunk/ SWEET ``` which is returning the error svn: E120107: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://v-lagerlunda.ita.mdh.se:8443/svn/wcet/sweet/trunk' and svn: E120107: Error running context: The proxy server returned an error while setting up the SSL tunnel. I have already edited /etc/subversion/servers and ~/.subversion/servers and added my proxy. svn is running fine when I give the command ``` svn co https://svn.eionet.europa.eu/repositories/Zope/trunk/RDFCalendar temp ``` This shows that my proxy is set correctly and svn works fine for https links. I think the problem might be related to the username and password given to me to grant read access to the SWEET source code.
