[TSVN] PROPFIND Error over HTTPS

Hi

I am trying to connect to a remote subversion server from behind a corporate
firewall. I rightly assumed the svn protocol would be blocked, and that some
of the commands used would be blocked if I used HTTP. However, I thought I
should be able to use HTTPS.

The server was setup following the excellent "Chapter 3. Setting Up A
Server", which only needed a few additional DLLs copying to make it work.

When I am not behind the corporate firewall, everything works fine. Whilst
on the corporate network, if I try to use TSVN to checkout from:

   https://mydomain.com/svn/MyRepository/

I get the following:

   Error PROPFIND request failed on 'svn/MyRepository'
   Error PROPFIND of 'svn/MyRepository': could not connect to server
(https://mydomain.com)

I can however use internet explorer to browse the repository using the same
URL.

My set up is as follows:

   Client:
   TortoiseSVN 1.2.0, Build 3602
   Windows XP Professional SP2 - firewall turned off

   Server:
   Windows Server 2003 Standard SP1
   Subversion 1.2.0
   Apache 2.0.54

On the server the repository path is D:\SVN\MyRepository and Apache's
httpd.conf file contains:

   <Location /svn>
      DAV svn
      SVNParentPath D:\SVN
      AuthType Basic
      AuthName "Subversion repositories"
      AuthUserFile passwd
      Require valid-user
   </Location>

I tried to pass the username and password for Apache as part of the URL
(e.g. https://user:pass@mydomain.com/svn/MyRepository/) but received the
same error.

Any suggestions gratefully received! Could it be the corporate firewall is
checking the agent making the request and only allowing known browsers?

Thanks in advance

Piers
