If you’re having problems accessing an SVN server through a corporate firewall or caching proxy server then see if the repository offers HTTPS, as well as HTTP, access. The system that would usually blocks HTTP access (because SVN access uses non-standard HTTP methods) can’t inspect the encrypted traffic sent to a HTTPS server so it passes straight through. This is quite handy for posting plugin updates to the wordpress.org plugin repository.
