I struggled with the same symptoms as @jackysee (who came across them on * nix) in a Windows 7 box with Jenkins 1.444. Like @jackysee, I thought I had problems setting up the proxy server-side, but my problem turned out to be just the problem of setting the Subversion proxy server on the client side. For the SYSTEM user, I installed the following file:
Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\servers
For a regular Windows user (easier to test), fix the following file instead:
Users\[uname]\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\servers
In the [groups] section, I incorrectly specified the external Subversion repository. The error that gave (similar to @ jackysee's) was svn: OPTIONS /svn failed . The configuration was wrong here :
[groups] wwj = worldwind31.arc.nasa.gov/svn
And here is the fix that worked for me:
[groups] wwj = worldwind31.arc.nasa.gov
Later, I discovered that the Subversion book gives a much better description of the purpose of the [groups] section than the misleading comments in servers . The Subversion book explains that the values ββin the [groups] section are used to identify host names , while the comments in the servers file mislead you into believing that the values ββmust be repository URLs (incorrect).
