[svk-devel] svk trunk issue with svn 1.5.0

Sun Aug 3 12:33:58 EDT 2008

Hi All,

 I'm having an issue with what appears to be the OPTIONS header under
trunk svk alongside svn 1.5.0.  I was told this wasn't working
correctly with the CPAN version and to use the repository.  I'm using
trunk and all the tests pass for me.

 Perhaps someone can give me the advice of whether this is fixable or
if I should rollback completely to 1.4.5 and use the CPAN SVK.
Either way it seems the SVK docs should point out which versions are
compatible , because most people are going to grab the latest SVN
(1.5.1 as of now).

So basically here's what I get:

Depot path: [//mirror/myapp]  # press enter
Authorization failed: OPTIONS of 'http://svn.mydomain.com/svn/myapp':
authorization failed (http://svn.mydomain.com)

When I trace this on the wire I'm getting something like this:

####
T <CLIENT_IP>:55697 -> <SERVER_IP>:80 [AP]
  OPTIONS /svn/myapp HTTP/1.1..Host: svn.mydomain.com..User-Agent:

And heres output for the same command from an older version (svk cpan
+ svn 1.4.5):

T <CLIENT_IP>:41777 -> <SERVER_IP>:80 [AP]
  PROPFIND /svn/myapp HTTP/1.1..Host: svn.mydomain.com..User-Agent:

Any Ideas how to fix this?  Explanation on why its changed from
PROPFIND to OPTIONS?

Thanks!
