works for me. Either your ISP is b0rked or some proxy is blocking svn over http. Some braindead sysadmins only allow svn over https

s/svn/WebDAV/g

what has WebDAV got to do with this??

The correct term to use here would be WebDAV over http (instead of svn over http). I suppose the reason for blocking would be that WebDAV is an extension of the http protocol. It adds certain methods like PROPFIND, COPY etc. So if your ISP blocks anything other than the basic HTTP methods (get,post, head,put,delete,options,trace) it will block WebDAV.

https is generally transparently proxied, so that should solve your problem.

how? the server is serving svn over http - so how can he use https?
