TortoiseSVN Error: “OPTIONS of 'https://…' could not connect to server (…)”

Question

I\'m trying to setup a new computer to synchronize with my SVN repository that\'s hosted with cvsdude.com.

I get this error:

![SVN Error][1] - removed im

Answer 1

I realize this is an old question, but the same issue happened to me, but for a completely different reason.

It could be that cvs-dude changed certificates, so it no longer matches the certificate you have cached.

You can go to TortoiseSVN->Settings->Saved Data and click the 'Clear' button next to 'Authentication data' and then try again.

Answer 2

This was driving me nuts and I solved it today. I'm posting in this old thread because I arrived here several times while searching for a solution. I hope it helps someone. For me, I checked svn-settings --> network --> Edit Subversion server file and found that there were some uncommented lines at the end:

http-proxy-host = 
ssl-trust-default-ca = no
http-proxy-username = 
http-proxy-password = 

that differed from my co-workers. Once I comment these, it started working again.
