Re: Enabling SSL for only write operations on svn repositories

From: David Summers <david_at_summersoft.fay.ar.us>

Well, I was able to use Digest authentication on HTTPD 2.0.43 but they
changed things on 2.0.44 and now I can't figure out how to get it to work
any more. :-(

Right now just to get SOMETHING to work, I'm back to Basic authentication
and SSL doesn't work either so I'm "vulnerable". :-(

I'll see if I can commit my HTTPD changes for RedHat 8.0 on my
Subversion server at http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/repos/httpd tomorrow
evening when I get home from work. In the meantime you can find my
current dev version at
http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/linux/redhat/RPMS/i386/subversion-dev
directory.

Any clues how to get SSL and/or Digest authentication working again?

Patches welcome.

   Thanks.

P.S. - This has been really rough the last several weeks because I was
having great success with Subversion up until I switched to RedHat 8.0 a
few weeks ago and in the last few months I've been
starting to really use Subversion and suddenly I've been having massive
problems! At least SOMETHING is working at the moment....*whew*!
