Re: Subversion behind apache 2.4 proxy - Connection refused

Hi!

Thanks for your reply. Just hearing that my setup looks OK made me look 
deeper, with Wireshark. Found that svn was using IPV6 but firefox used 
IPV4. Apparently the proxy can't handle IPV6 so I am now using a 
hostname wihout any IPV6 address in /etc/hosts and everything works fine.

Thanks again,
Gunnar
