please give the naswer guyz i m with it now from last five days and  
not able to enjoy ruby efficiently…

hanks dear but when i tried it from repo browser and tyeped the url of  
plugin it gives me the tree but doesnt give the plugin it doesnt  
installl that…means if we repo the url

[http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/acts\_as\_authenticated](http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/acts_as_authenticated)

then  
[http://svn.techno-weenie.net](http://svn.techno-weenie.net)…project…plugins…act\_as\_authenticated

opens but there is no file in act\_as\_authenticated…if i desire  
to see wats in d folder it gives me the following error…  
error:\* propfind request failde on ‘/projects/plugins/  
act\_as\_authenticated…  
could not resolve the hostname’[svn.technoweenie.net](http://svn.technoweenie.net)’

the locsl server does not respond to an authoriative server…

i have also repo browser the svn but even it is not giving me the  
perfect answer…and giving me the error as propfine request failed
