Running tortoisesvn behind firewalls with HTTP
If you are a fan of holding a lot of stuff under version control and are having problems connecting to your repository when you are behind a corporate network, hospital network etc; try the following.
Apparently firewalls block DAV requests over HTTP so if you cant connect to the repository set it up over HTTPS and you should have no further problems.
This was a head scratcher for me when I was setting up Helen’s repository for her thesis.
Just posting this in case it it useful to you.
