I am trying to access several subversion repositories from behind a socks proxy. Client machine runs Debian Linux. I use tsocks to stuff svn into the proxy. I can do "tsocks svn co svn://blah.." just fine through the proxy, but "tsocks svn co http://blah.."; hangs for a long time and then says "Could not read status line: connection was closed by server". I also tried from an unrestricted network, with ssh -D to localhost to set up a quick socks proxy. Same error when using tsocks. Without the proxy, the repo works fine. I can see in wireshark that with tsocks it asks for OPTIONS, as without a proxy, gets the OPTIONS back, as without a proxy, and then it just sits there, sending no further data until the error apprears and it exits. In the restricted network, the SOCKS proxy is dante, but as I mentioned, the same situation occurs with a simple ssh -D proxy. I've tested that in both cases, "tsocks wget ...." works perfectly. Using http://opkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ for testing, but I've tried several others too. Any ideas?
