and how much slower/faster is it when compared to svn protocol ?

The speed depends on which subversion client backend someone is using. 
HTTP will be slower than using the svn native protocol, but the serf 
subversion backend will perform parallel fetches.

I would like to see this patch get into the OE tree to make the tree 
more robust to proxies. Currently, this is the only customization I need 
for the projects I work on.

Ryan Phillips

Note that if you use a mirror site with the SVN checkout archive in it, 
you won't try and do the fetch at all.  This may or may not be 
applicable to your case.  For your case I think what we really want is a 
way to globally toggle the svn protocol argument.

yes that would be something more useful. I guess we could add it to
all SCM fetching recipes.

I wonder if the PREMIRRORS/MIRRORS handling is smart enough to let us
use its regex for the components to replace protocol= in the url
parameters.

This won't suffice, because svn may have different URLs for svn and
http, like in the discussed patch (branches vs. svn/branches):

-SRC_URI =
"svn://svn.eglibc.org/branches;module=${EGLIBC_BRANCH};proto=svn \
+SRC_URI =
"svn://svn.eglibc.org/svn/branches;module=${EGLIBC_BRANCH};proto=http \

Andreas

And of course, changes to the url can also be done via PREMIRRORS.
You'd just have the first one a specific entry to redirect eglibc, and
the second a fallback for non-specific.  Of course, there's nothing
wrong with using bbappend/amend.inc for this, just another
possibility.

Yes your pie :) but this is not the only problem I guess in OE with
regard to fetching behind the proxies.
you can also use a appending mechanism in your layer and make this
change without changing OE at all

fwiw, I wrote a local patch for bitbake

          https://www.cvg.de/people/ensc/0004-svn-tunnel.patch

which allows fetching of svn:// uris through an http proxy (which must
be configured to allow CONNECTs to svn servers).  I thought it would be
some local hack but when there is wider interest I will submit it to the
bitbake ml.

Agreed; this is a change I have to do manually every time
