TortoiseSVN Error: "OPTIONS of 'https://...' could not connect to server (...)"
- by Zack Peterson
I'm trying to setup a new computer to synchronize with my SVN repository that's hosted with cvsdude.com.
I get this error:
Here's what I did (these have worked in the past):
Downloaded and installed TortoiseSVN
Created a new folder C:\aspwebsite
Right-clicked, chose SVN Checkout...
Entered the following information, clicked OK:
URL of repository: https://<reponame>-svn.cvsdude.com/aspwebsite
Checkout directory: C:\aspwebsite
Checkout depth: Fully recursive
Omit externals: Unchecked
Revision: HEAD revision
Got TortoiseSVN error:
OPTIONS of 'https://<reponame>-svn.cvsdude.com/aspwebsite': could not connect to server (https://<reponame>-svn.cvsdude.com)
Rather than getting the error, TortoiseSVN should have asked for my username and password and then downloaded about 90MB.
Why can't I checkout from my Subversion repository?

Contact CVSDude and ask them whats up.
It could also be a timeout, because
for me their site is exhaustively
slow..
It errors after only a couple seconds. I don't think it's a timeout.

it in your browser, you ought to be
able to get the files in your SVN
client and we can work from there. If
it fails, then there's your answer.
I can access the site in a web browser.
