[svk-devel] Error on 'svk sync -s'

[Rolf Schäuble]

Hello Daniel,

Unfortunately, I can't test it without ssl. The sourceforge server  
only serves the repositories over https. If you try http, you get a  
"moved" error code.

Could you give me link? I searched the archives for the last few  
month (manually, either they don't have a search for the list, or I  
didn't find it), and I could only find one single mail (without any  
answers).
In case this is useful: My OSX runs openssl 0.9.8d, my Linux runs  
0.9.8.a. I will check what my PC in work is running. Maybe that's  
really the problem.

Thanks. I will try that later today.

Thanks for you help
