title: "RA layer request failed" error with Subclipse, no errors with web browser
body: <p>I'm using STS 2.8.1 (I think it's based on Eclipse Indigo) with Subclipse 1.6.18.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to check some code out from a repository, but when I add the repository location, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>RA layer request failed<br>
    svn: Server sent unexpected return value (503 Service Unavailable) in response to OPTIONS request for 'http://a.b.com:18080/svn/myproject'</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The thing is, if I try to access that repository from a web browser (e.g. Chrome or IE), I'm allowed to access it. It asks for my username and password, and after I enter them, I can see the project tree.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know why I can access from the web browser but not from STS?</p>
  
  <p>The proxy settings are configured correctly for Subclipse (and I can access other repositories from STS, but not that one).</p>
