This error comes for me too, but i know, that i’m behind transparent proxy. I’m allowed to use other ports, so it’s no problem for me to use subversion repositories at other ports (most of svn repositories allows access through port 81 too for this case).
It’s possible to allow access through port 81 to svn repository ?
So instead http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/ i will use http://svn.automattic.com:81/wordpress/trunk/.
Thanks.
PS:
See http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#proxy :
If it’s difficult or impossible to get the proxy to allow Subversion traffic, but you want to check out the Subversion sources, you may be able to go around the proxy. Some proxies that filter port 80 nevertheless allow anything on port 81. For this reason, the svn.collab.net repository server listens on port 81 as well as on port 80. Try:
svn checkout http://svn.collab.net:81/repos/svn/trunk subversion
