svn: E175002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL

Question

I'm trying to svn checkout this library https://code.google.com/p/google-api-objectivec-client/source/checkout but my svn doesn't connect from a particular macbook, same internet connection but different macbook it is able to checkout successfully

I get: svn: E175002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://google-api-objectivec-client.googlecode.com/svn' svn: E175002: OPTIONS of 'http://google-api-objectivec-client.googlecode.com/svn': Could not read status line: connection was closed by server (http://google-api-objectivec-client.googlecode.com)

What setting could be different on a macbook that can cause this ? Both computers have same OSX, Xcode and svn versions.

It doesn't connect to other repositories either that are hosted on code.google.com

Answer 1

I had the same problem, I also had cisco anyconnect, but my solution was to change the URL to https and it seemed to work.

That is I edited

http://google-api-objectivec-client.googlecode.com/svn

to

https://google-api-objectivec-client.googlecode.com/svn

in the script file

Answer 2

The culprit was Cisco AnyConnect, I uninstalled it and svn works

Answer 3

I removed all the previous auth ssl server by the command:

rm ~/.subversion/auth/svn.ssl.server/*

and all worked again.

Answer 4

I had the same problem but the solution was different for me. I had upgraded to a new Netbeans (version 8) and had selected two different directories. None of the other answers here were relevant and I was already using https so I entered my auth info (although it's not required for c/o here) and just chose 1 directory root at a time.
