repoproxy

Script to proxy git and svn protocols via http proxy

Use socat to proxy common SCM protocols through HTTP CONNECT firewall. Useful if you are trying to use svn or git where a http version of the repo is not available for use. For svn, while it supports setting a http proxy in the config file, I've not found it particularly reliable.

Save this file as repoproxy somewhere in your path (e.g., ~/bin), make it executable, and then create the symlinks either gitproxy or svnproxy in the same location and following the instructions appropriate to them.

SVN

svnproxy

edit ~/.subversion/config and add "socat = " under the tunnels section

then whenever using svn, simply change the line "svn://" to read "svn+socat://"

and continue to use as normal
