Configure Metasploit and SVN Client behind a proxy

If you're setting up Metasploit and can't seem to make msfupdate to work because you're behind a proxy, here is a fast tip:

# nano /etc/subversion/servers

Scroll down until the end of the file and uncomment the lines below  as well as set the appropriate values:

# http-proxy-exceptions = *.exception.com, www.internal-site.org
http-proxy-host = proxy.company.com
http-proxy-port = 3128

Save and run msfupdate and you're good to go :)
