Can't checkout repository with space in its name over http

Hi all,

First off, thanks for all the hard work :)

I am having a little trouble.. maybe someone here can help me

I am running SVN on Windows XP, with Apache 2.0.48. I have two repositories
stored on my computer. Both are in the folder "F:\Subversion Repositories".
One is called "www", the other is "My Documents". I am able to check out
both when using the file:// protocol, but I run into trouble with the "My
Documents" one when I try to do it over http.

Here's the relevant part of my http.conf:

<Location /svn>

DAV svn

SVNParentPath "F:\Subversion Repositories"

AuthType Basic

AuthName "Subversion repositories"

AuthUserFile passwd

#AuthzSVNAccessFile svnaccessfile

Require valid-user

</Location>

I can check out the repository named www by giving the url of the repository
as:

http://localhost:8080/svn/www/

I am unable to check out the repository named My Documents by giving the url
of the repository as:

http://localhost:8080/svn/My%20Documents/

I am able to browse both repositories using those URLs, but I can only
checkout www.

Here's the error message I get:

PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/My Documents/!svn/vcc/default'

Could not open the requested SVN filesystem

Here's the errors that show up in my Apache error log:

Mon Dec 22 16:25:07 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (20014)Error string not

Here's what I typed at the commandline. (I made sure that c:\test was empty
before issuing each command):

C:\test>"c:\program files\subversion\bin\svn" --version

svn, version 0.35.1 (r8050)

svn:

Could not open the requested SVN filesystem

As you can see, I don't have svn in my path. I don't think that has caused
any problems though.

The most interesting error message I see is that apache is looking for a
file called 'F:\Subversion Repositories/My/format'. I imagine it is supposed
to be looking for 'F:\Subversion Repositories/My Documents/format'.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
