>Description:
Since it is neccessary to connect via a proxy to the internet I've set in ${HOME}/.subversion/servers:

http-proxy-host = 10.167.19.1
http-proxy-port = 3128

I've set the environment-variables too:

https_proxy=http://10.167.19.1:3128
http_proxy=http://10.167.19.1:3128
ftp_proxy=http://10.167.19.1:3128
proxy_enable=yes

Docs state this is enough to connect to an svn-server. Thus I tried to check out some code from google-code. Worked as expected.

Now I tried again to update my local sources for FreeBSD 8.0. First switching over to the new server:

cd /usr/src
svn switch --relocate http://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/8 https://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/base/stable/8

Nothing happened. After minutes of waiting:

svn: E120108: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/base/stable/8'
svn: E120108: Error running context: The server unexpectedly closed the connection.

Without a proxy in between it worked. Since the very same setup works with SVN 1.7.x but not with 1.8.x it may be svn 1.8.x ignoring proxy settings? As far as I could digg, I could not dump any packet showing communication between the system and the proxy. Does SVN 1.8.x have a different way setting up proxys than 1.7.x, because of the library change neon -> snaf?
>How-To-Repeat:
Install svn upgrade to version 1.8.x, then connect via proxy to the internet.
System wont connect to the svn-server, while a svn 1.7.x will do.
