Eclipse + Subversive : Can't create session

Question

I've been using subversive pluguin quite a while and I didn't have a problem, but today I changed to a cellular network on windows 10 and I started getting this error while trying to commit :

Can't create session
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://XXXXXX'
RA layer request failed
svn: Unexpected HTTP status 400 'Bad Request' on 'http://XXXXX'

I found that I need to add a proxy details in the file servers of subversive but I don't know what to add since it's a cellular network.

Is in _Windows > Preferences: General > Network Connecions_ the _Active Provider_ set to _Native_? — howlger, Aug 07 '17 at 10:12
Which connector do you use (_Windows > Preferences: Team > SVN: SVN Connector): SVNKit (100% Java) or JavaHL (native library + Java API)? — howlger, Aug 07 '17 at 11:19
A switch would be worth a try. The two connectors work differently. Maybe it is a JavaHL issue only. — howlger, Aug 08 '17 at 08:35
No problem, it seems that the problem comes from my ISP cause when I change it it works. — OddDev, Aug 09 '17 at 10:55
Which [protocol](https://stackoverflow.com/q/2140954/6505250) do you use? I would assume that ISP does not block _http_ and _https_ URLs. — howlger, Aug 09 '17 at 11:10
Maybe your ISP manipulates _http_ requests. Can you switch to _https_ or _svn_? — howlger, Aug 09 '17 at 14:19
Yes I did change to Https and I did get a login form from my svn server wich I didn't get while using http — OddDev, Aug 09 '17 at 14:58

Maybe your ISP manipulates HTTP requests.

If possible, switch the SVN protocol/URL from http://... to https://... or svn://...?

The Subversion client can go through a proxy, if you configure it to do so. First, edit your "servers" configuration file to indicate which proxy to use. The files location depends on your operating system. On Linux or Unix it is located in the directory "~/.subversion". On Windows it is in "%APPDATA%\Subversion". (Try "echo %APPDATA%", note this is a hidden directory.)

uncomment the following line:

#http-proxy-host=proxy.ip
#http-proxy-port=portnumber
#http-proxy-username=[username]
#http-proxy-password=[password]
