[Fwd: Bug report: checking out a toplevel http://... repository fails.]

Hi,

below is a mail we received on the TSVN mailing list. Since this is not
the first one who reported the same issue, I'd like to ask you guys if
this is a known issue?
As mentioned in those reports, this worked with previous (1.4.x) svn
clients.

Also, usually I try to reproduce an issue myself before reporting this
to you, but re-configuring my only apache server to get a repository
directly on a web root is a lot of work and would also make the main
site go offline for a while - so maybe one of you already has something
like this set up?

Hi,

If I try to check out http://svn.blah.net/ using TSVN 1.5 I get an
error. I tried at least the beta and the latest nightly build: 12551.

Error: OPTIONS of 'http://svn.blah.net': Could not read status line:
Error: connection was closed by server (http://svn.blah.net)

I analysed it a little using a packet logger and it shows that the
request sent is:

OPTIONS HTTP/1.1
Host: svn.blah.net
User-Agent: SVN/1.5.0 (Beta 1)/TortoiseSVN-1.5.0.12411 neon/0.28.1
Keep-Alive:
Connection: TE, Keep-Alive
TE: trailers
DAV: http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/svn/depth
DAV: http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/svn/mergeinfo
DAV: http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/svn/log-revprops
Accept-Encoding: gzip

Note the first line. I think it's missing a / in there.

Based on this, I tried checking out http://svn.blah.net/x/.. and this
actually works (no error, checks out ok). My guess is that it does not
add a "/" if the requested path is empty.

Apart from this glitch, I like the new version of TSVN a lot (even more
than the older ones :p)! Keep up the good work. :)
