Hi,

Before I start explaining my problem, you need to know I'm all new to the concepts of embedded systems, so please be gentle
As my first step in knowing OpenWrt, I've read the "An introduction to Buildroot-ng" article. The first step in there is to download OpenWrt's source from svn server by the "svn co https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk" command. And that's what I did. But it failed on me with the following error message:

svn: Server sent unexpected return value (405 Not Allowed) in response to OPTIONS request for 'https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk'

Can someone please tell me if I did something wrong?

Regards,
Mehran

Seemes you are using proxy, and proxy brokes your connection

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and in Network Proxy Preferences my proxy configuration is set to Direct internet connection, if that's what you mean.
BTW, I've also had difficulties coming back to this website and reading your reply to the post! Perhaps the website is under administration or something!?
There's one other possibility that might be happening, and I hope I'm wrong. I'm connecting from Iran! There are websites that prohibit access from Iran, embargo related!! Does this website follow such policies??

Is there any other way to reach the source files in svn server? Perhaps downloading them from some http server?

The protocol used for checkout changed. Try svn:// instead of https:// in the svn checkout command.

Thanks, that was the case
Perhaps someone should update that article too
