Hi,

    I was using subversion 0.26 and when I use ra_dav it ask for http
    user and password, then I upgraded to Subversion 0.29 and the only
    way to make it work it's passing the user and password in the
    command line as arguments wich is very insecure.

    I downloaded the 0.30 release and the problem is still there.

    Is this a bug or a feature?

    I'm working with Debian unstable.

    Here is an example with version 0.26:

    martin_at_host$ svn co http://portal.mecon.ar/svn/repos/
    martin's password: <enter>
    username: mmarre
    password: <pass>

    then the checkout begans

    Here is an example with version 0.29 and 0.30:
    
    martin_at_host$ svn co http://portal.mecon.ar/svn/repos/
    svn: Authorization failed
    svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/repos'
    svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/repos': authorization failed (http://portal.mecon.ar)

    (In the apache access log I can see that the username wasn't sent)
    Apache access log:
    10.10.146.171 - - [24/Sep/2003:19:04:55 -0300] "PROPFIND /svn/repos HTTP/1.1" 401 511 "-" "SVN/0.29.0 (r6976) neon/0.24.0"
    10.10.146.204 - - [24/Sep/2003:18:56:43 -0300] "PROPFIND /svn/repos HTTP/1.1" 401 511 "-" "SVN/0.30.0 (r7178) neon/0.24.2"
    ----- ^^^

    Here is the way that I found to make it work:
    
    martin_at_host$ svn co http://portal.mecon.ar/svn/repos/ --username mmarre --password <password>

    10.10.146.204 - mmarre [24/Sep/2003:18:56:43 -0300] "PROPFIND /svn/reposs/!svn/bc/7 HTTP/1.1" 207 720 "-" "SVN/0.30.0 (r7178) neon/0.24.2"
                   ^^^^^^^^

    thnx
