SSLRequireSSL for activities requiring password?

Hi all,

I set up subversion successfully for the first time on a Fedora-1 box
today but have an apache-subversion config question.

In my apache config I have:

<Location /svn>
   DAV svn
   SVNParentPath /var/lib/svnroot
                                                                    
<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
      # Require SSL connection for password protection.
      SSLRequireSSL
      AuthType Basic
      AuthName "Subversion Authorization Realm"
      AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/subversion-passwd
      Require valid-user
 </LimitExcept>
</Location>

which I expected to allow anonymous read access to the repository via
http://localhost/svn/ReposName
and authenticated write to:
https://localhost/svn/ReposName

Instead I am getting PROPFIND 403 Forbidden messages from the client
and access failed: SSL connection required in my apache logs when I try
to use plain http. (https works fine on all fronts.)

Does anyone know if it's expected behavior for SSLRequireSSL to
disregard <LimitExcept>? Should I really be asking this on a mod_ssl
list? (Also -- is it silly of me to want to have identical paths for
unauthenticated and authenticated repository access? Is best practice
to have two entirely separate repositories?)

Many thanks,
Toshio
