Geoff,
Thanks for your reply. I've tried the things you've suggested and already read
through the stack overflow posts you listed, but I looked at them all again.
One of the comments to the last post mentioned antivirus software, which got me
thinking. Among other things I uninstalled my VPN
I've been asking and googling this problem for the last many days with no avail.
Whenever I try to do a checkout of a repository I get this error:
$ svn co http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/trunk
svn: OPTIONS of 'http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/trunk': Could not read
status line:
I've seen that same message before many times, but always with my own
misconfigured http+mod_dav+dav_svn setup, never with someone else's working
repo.
Try https instead of http?
Check proxy settings?
Check here for more possibilities:
