RE: SVN Proxy server

Hi Ben,

I had to write a proxy that would pass through our versions as well before it reaches the svn.

Client-->SVNproxy-->OurVersioningSystem-->SVN.
The above is the process that i need to follow. Considering the different protocols that svn has like Http, Https( which are already handled ) and SVN which need to be handled now in our project.

I had written a socket ( SVN Proxy ) server in java.
Let me put the details how i am proceeding in obtaining the connection.

Note: I use the eclipse svn plugin as the client.

1. First I click Team->Share Project-> SVN( Chosen option ) click next and pick up an existing svn repsoitory on my machine.
2. Now the proxy receives the request( opening a socket , ServerSocket.accept method ) then spawns a new thread that would handle the request then on, like opening input and output streams. when the proxy receives the first call to open socket then it sends back reponse in this format
( success ( 1 2 ( ANONYMOUS ) ( edit-pipeline ) ) ) ( 2 ANONYMOUS ( ) ( ) )
3. Then the client responds back with this.
( 2 ( edit-pipeline ) 32:svn:///d:/testsvnrep/SVNProtocol )
In my case the testsvnrep is my repository and SVNProtocol is my eclipse project.
4. Then the proxy sends a reponse to the client in this format
( success ( ( ) 32:localhost/d:/testsvnrep/SVNProtocol ) )

Now the problem starts, after when i send this response to the client the client opens up anew socket instead of sending on the same socket that was opened before.

Also attached is the code for the same.

SVNProxy File
--------------

import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;

public class SVNProxy
{
        public static void main( String[] args ) throws Exception
        {
                ServerSocket serverSoc = new ServerSocket( 3690 );
                //Socket soc = null;

                System.out.println("SVN Proxy Started.");
                while( true )
                {
                        System.out.println( "Waiting..." );
                        Socket soc = serverSoc.accept();
                        System.out.println( "New connection opened on port::"+soc.getPort() );
                        new Thread( new SVNSession( soc ) ).start();
                        //openSession( soc );
                }
        }

SVNSession File
----------------

import java.net.Socket;
//import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
//import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.BufferedReader;

public class SVNSession implements Runnable

        private Socket clientSocket = null;
        private String OPEN_CONNECTION_RESPONSE = "( success ( 1 2 ( ANONYMOUS ) ( edit-pipeline ) ) ) " +
                                                                                                  "( 2 ANONYMOUS ( ) ( ) )";
        private String AUTHETICATION_REQUEST = "( success ( ( ) ";

        SVNSession( Socket soc ) throws Exception
        {
                this.clientSocket = soc;
        } // end of constructor SVNSession

        public void run()
        {
                try
                {

                {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                } // end of catch block
        } // end of run method
        
        private void openSVNSession() throws Exception
        {
                byte[] writeBytes = OPEN_CONNECTION_RESPONSE.getBytes();
                OutputStream socOutputStream = this.clientSocket.getOutputStream();
                socOutputStream.write( writeBytes );
                System.out.println("SVN hand shake ack sent.");
        } // end of openConnection method
        

        private void readInputStream() throws Exception
        {
                BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader( new
                                                                                                          InputStreamReader( this.clientSocket.
                                                                                                          getInputStream() ) );
                String message = null;
                while( true )
                {
                        if( this.clientSocket.getInputStream().available() > 0 )
                        {
                                System.out.println( "available:" + this.clientSocket.getInputStream().available() );
                                byte[] readBytes = new byte[ this.clientSocket.getInputStream().
                                                                                                                        available() ];
                                this.clientSocket.getInputStream().read( readBytes );
                                System.out.println( new String( readBytes ) );
                                requestForAuthentication( new String( readBytes ));
                        }
                } // end of while listening to inputstream
        } // end of readInputStream method
        
        private void processRequest( String request )
        {
        }
        
        private void requestForAuthentication( String response )
                                                throws Exception
        {
                this.clientSocket.getOutputStream().write( ( this.AUTHETICATION_REQUEST + " ( " +
                                                                                 response.substring(
                                                                                 ( response.indexOf( ")" ) + 2 ) ) ).getBytes() );
        }

        private void closeStreams()
                                        throws Exception
        {
                this.clientSocket.getInputStream().close();
                this.clientSocket.getOutputStream().close();
        }
}
 

Please help me in understanding the protocol.

Regards
RP

Does the 'protocol' document not give a precise-enough description?
If something's unclear, please ask specific questions.
