I'm trying to check out a Subversion repository. My other two subversion clients don't have issues trying to check out. They are however in another network setup.

I'm using TortoiseSVN 1.7.5 64 bit (also tried the newest 1.7.7 64 bit).

When I do this I get the following error:

Server sent unexpected return value (405 Method Not Allowed) in response to REPORT request for '/svn/cosara2/!svn/vcc/default'

In other posts I found that there could be a problem with an already existing folder. I've made sure there is no such folder.

The Subversion server is set up to use WebDav so the SVN URL is like http://some/url/to/svn/repo/branch

Could this be an issue with an HTTP proxy webserver? Any other thoughts?

I've solved this issue by setting up HTTPS for the SVN repository. DAV was not allowed by the proxy server but since the proxy server cannot interpret HTTPS it can not block DAV.
