Thanks for the excellent analysis of what Johan was running into.
> The fix is to ensure that the request is only marked as handled when a. the response body has been discarded completely or a b. read error was encountered resulting in serf setting up a new connection. I don't have a tested solution, as my Windows vm was so nice to reboot to install some updates while I was in the middle of a debug session, and I don't have time now to start over.
Not to worry. I've been working on exactly that stuff. In fact, the
code you quoted is one of my targets to fix.
svn_ra_serf__handle_server_error() is conceptually broken (and needs
to be removed for the reason you state), as I noted in the log message
of r1335217.
My intent is to replace the code you quoted with something basically
like: handler->server_error = alloc(). The core response handler will
then start processing the body as an error.
There are a couple similar cases. I'm looking at them now to ensure
the errors these things raise will propagate correctly, or to place
the error creation elsewhere. It should be fixed within a few days
(traveling tmw).
