What do you do; what do you see; what do you expect to see?
Be specific.

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/request_processing.html
When your client makes a http request of nginx, nginx must decide which
of your server{} blocks to use to process the request.
For your config, it looks like nginx does this purely based on the http
Host: header.

If you do
curl -H Host:sd-32587.dedibox.fr -i http://your-server-name-or-ip/
you should get content from here.
If sd-32587.dedibox.fr resolves to your server ip, then that is the same as
curl -i http://sd-32587.dedibox.fr/
and the same as using any browser to fetch it.

Same thing here:
curl -H Host:websvn.sd-32587.dedibox.fr -i http://your-server-name-or-ip/
or
curl -i http://websvn.sd-32587.dedibox.fr/

What error? I suggest using "curl" for testing, as above. It tends not
to hide the real error from you.
My guess is "unable to resolve the hostname".
> Could you help me please
If the problem is that your client can't resolve the hostname, you must
make your client be able to resolve the hostname.
Either put it in dns (so everyone who uses that dns service can see it);
or put it in the local "hosts" file that your browser uses (so that only
you can easily see it).
Good luck,
