Re: New to Subclipse Behind Restrictive Firewall & RA layer request failed

Although an Eclipse user for years, subversion is new to me, but I
figured, no problem, I'll download the plugins then paste the URL into
the "Add
Respository Destination" dialog and be done. But when I do that, I get
the fabled "RA layer request failed...could not connect to server".

Based on the post below, I think the problem is that my firewall
is not allowing WebDAV. Is there any way to prove that? (I'll need
the proof to get the firewall guy off his (!).

I am working at a client PC, where Firewall prohibits usage of WebDAV
to connect to SVN service.
-- svn console ---
RA layer request failed
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn': could not connect to server
(https://junitext.googlecode.com)
-- svn console ---

The author goes on to explain how he's trying to use tunneling to
the server using Putty / SSH. I haven't researched that. But if
anyone has two cents, or a pointer, TIA.

Okay, I connected the machine to another network (no proxy required
here) and I'm getting the project from Google code right now.

Bottom line: If your firewall blocks WebDAV, then you get the RA layer
request failed message.
