Description:

Subversion 1.8.0 has a bug that prevents people behind proxies (at $WORK, for example) from checking out or updating http/https repositories.

The attached patch includes an upstream commit to fix the issue. It will be part of 1.8.1.

I've created the patch against packages/subversion/trunk instead of packages/subversion/repos, please let me know if that's not right.
This task depends upon

We get this error message: svn: E175009: XML parsing failed: (400 Bad Request)

In my case, I didn't get any error -- svn checkout or svn update would simply not checkout or update anything at all, so I'd end up with an empty directory.

If the patch also solves your problem, that's even better :-)

See http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#issues

"Subversion 1.8.0 has switched from neon to serf for HTTP access. The Serf-based HTTP access library would use chunked transfer encoding for most requests. When the mod_dav_svn Subversion server is fronted by a proxy or reverse proxy (such as Nginx prior to 1.3.9) which responds with a 411 Length Required, Subversion would sometimes either treat this as a fatal error, such as [...] svn: E175009: XML parsing failed: (411 Length Required) [...] Subversion 1.8.1 fixes this issue by detecting automatically whether chunked requests are supported at the set up of a session. This is done by issuing one additional request at the start of the session."
