Uh, sure, but that's irrelevant.

If what you want is an HTTP URL to hand to people for that path in that
repository at a particular revision, you're sunk anyway; you have to
know whether there's a web server running and how it's configured before
you can produce one of those, no matter what we do in this conversation.

If what you want is that path in that repository at a particular
revision, you don't need to construct a URL; you use the appropriate
Subversion mechanism. I said "it can use DeltaV" before because we were
talking about HTTP URLs, but of course there are equivalent mechanisms
for file:// and svn://.
