    http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/httpcomponents/oac.hc3x/trunk

## Source Repository

This project uses Subversion to manage its source code. Instructions for using Subversion can be found at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/.

### Anonymous Access with Maven

This project's source can be checked out anonymously from SVN with the following instruction set on a single line:

          maven scm:checkout
            -Dmaven.scm.method=svn
            -Dmaven.scm.url=scm:svn:http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/httpcomponents/oac.hc3x/trunk
            -Dmaven.scm.checkout.dir=commons-httpclient

### Anonymous Access

This project's source can be checked out anonymously from SVN with the following command:

    svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/httpcomponents/oac.hc3x/trunk commons-httpclient

### Access through a proxy

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.)

There are comments in the file explaining what to do. If you don't have that file, get the latest Subversion client and run any command; this will cause the configuration directory and template files to be created.

Example : Edit the 'servers' file and add something like:

    [global]
    http-proxy-host = your.proxy.name
    http-proxy-port = 3128
