TortoiseSVN checkout failed error svn: E120106: ra_serf: The server sent a truncated HTTP response body

Question

TortoiseSVN shows the error svn: E120106: ra_serf: The server sent a truncated HTTP response body during checkout operation. How to solve the problem?

Answer 1

Incorrect Proxy Settings can cause the same error message.

I have encountered the exact same error at different moments during the checkout. The first few files always succeeded, but after 5-10 files the ra_serf error appeared. Same happened with large and small files.

After some trial and error (other hardware, wired connection) I was not closer to a solution. I decided to check all Tortoise SVN settings and found the simple answer: my proxy settings were not correct!
