I use git svn to sync with the subversion repos: $ mkdir prj && cd prj $ git svn init http://url/to/repos/branches/experimental $ git svn fetch and got the error message: RA layer request failed: OPTIONS of 'http://url/to/repos/branches/experimental': Could not read status line: connection was closed by proxy server (http://url/to/repos) at /usr/bin/git-svn line 1352 Why and how can I fix this? Thanks, Li Feng ``` ## Eric Wong, 2009-04-21 18:04 Subject: Re: RA layer request failed while git-svn fetch Message-ID: <20090421180408.GC16642@dcvr.yhbt.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20090421180408.GC16642%40dcvr.yhbt.net In-Reply-To: ``` Li Feng wrote: > Hi, > > I don't know if this is a proper place for asking this > question, let me know if it's not. > > I use git svn to sync with the subversion repos: > > $ mkdir prj && cd prj > $ git svn init http://url/to/repos/branches/experimental > $ git svn fetch > > and got the error message: > > RA layer request failed: OPTIONS of 'http://url/to/repos/branches/experimental': > Could not read status line: connection was closed by proxy server > (http://url/to/repos) at /usr/bin/git-svn line 1352 > > Why and how can I fix this? Seems like a failed internet connection or the server or proxy went down. Does restarting git-svn work? If not, I'd check with the SVN repo with the regular SVN client... -- Eric Wong ```
