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: connection was closed by server (http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com) It doesn't matter what the repository is. Same error as long as I use HTTP. Along with the many, many other things I've tried, I did some packet sniffing and noticed that there is absolutely no network traffic happening when I use HTTP. On the other hand, HTTPS works (on servers configured for it)--unfortunately, the server at work I really need to check in/out from only accepts HTTP. Any ideas? This has got to be something just on my machine (OS X 10.8), but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. Many thanks, Conan.
