At work, I am trying to do a svn checkout https://... in a terminal, and I got the error: svn: OPTIONS of 'https://...': could not connect to server (https://...)
I can open the address https://... in my internet explorer, after entering the login and password, I can see the files in it.
Always in my internet explorer, my current setting of proxy is None.
Previously, to make svn works at home, people have inserted the following lines to my file /etc/subversion/servers:
[global]
http-proxy-host = kuzh.xxx.fr
http-proxy-port = 8080
Under this context, does anyone know how to solve this ... could not connect to server ... error?
Edit1 At the moment I am trying the same command at home, and it works. So I think @J.N. is right... I should make the http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port under a [group] so that it is taken into account only when I am at home, and not considered when I am elsewhere...
Now, the question is how to specify the [group] in /etc/subversion/servers so that it knows that I am at home or not...

http and https are handled by web server module for Subversion support, so you can use HTTP-based authentication (configured through . htaccess) to limit access to your repository).
If you want to find out your IP address but don't know how to, you might be able to visit http://www.whatismyip.com/ from the server to find out. This is assuming your server will be accessible from the internet instead of your local network. Save this answer.
I had a similar issue, i use a proxy in my college, and no proxy at home.
It kept giving me the "could not connect to server" error.
All i had to do was comment the lines under the [global] section:
[global]
# http-proxy-host = kuzh.xxx.fr
# http-proxy-port = 8080
under these two files:
/etc/subversion/servers
/home/<username>/.subversion/servers
and that resolved the issue. Apparently, local configs are generated for all users that are using svn, so you need to remove the proxy from your user account as well when you want to get rid of the proxy.

First, try to comment the said lines to avoid using a proxy server and test if it works (that is add a # at the beginning of each line.
If it doesn't, then you're stuck. There is probably a proxy between you and the SVN server that prevents from using Subversion feautures (Note: some proxies are transparent, and need not be configured, they "catch" your requests automatically).
If it does otherwise, you can create a [group] section in the configuration to only use a proxy for some servers instead of a global configuration.
