Hello all,
                It's my first time posting to this list and I am not subscribed 
so please CC me on any replies.

                I'm having difficulty with the proxy settings in Windows 
version of svn (I'm using the WANdisco compiled version).  It seems as though 
no matter what I put in the appdata\roaming\subversion\servers file the 
settings are ignored and the svn is defaulting to the windows control panel 
settings.  This would be fine but we utilize a proxy.pac autoconfigure and 
require proxy authentication.  Between those two settings for whatever reason 
svn seems to be unable to deal with the proxy's request for authentication.  
I've tcpdumped the connection information from the proxy itself and it looks 
like svn just isn't answering.

The basic gist of the stream goes like this:
Source                  Dest                       Protocol               
Length                  Message
clientIP                 proxyIP                HTTP                      121   
                      CONNECT www.svnrepository.tld:443 HTTP/1.1
proxyIP                clientIP                 HTTP                      236   
                      HTTP/1.1 407 authenticationrequired  (text/html)
clientIP                 proxyIP                HTTP                      217   
                      CONNECT www.svnrepository.tld:443 HTTP/1.1 , 
NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE
proxyIP                clientIP                 HTTP                      252   
                      HTTP/1.1 407 authenticationrequired , NTLMSSP_CHALLENGE 
(text/html)

And then silence.  The app correctly interprets the first 407 and tries 
connecting again but this time with an NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE but when the proxy 
comes back with a CHALLENGE svn never responds with credentials.  I worked with 
my proxy vendor and we tried to find ways around it but short of turning off 
authentication they are chalking it up to a bug in the HTTP client 
implementation.  Any help would be much appreciated.
