In this particular scenario, the web server that the client sees is
accessible via https. In fact, this is a reverse/transparent/etc proxy,
that is funneling request back to an actual Apache server that is NOT
running ssl. The COPY command from the client is supplying a Destination
header of https://.../ (which the proxy does not modify). Apache/DAV/SVN
is expecting to see a Destination in the form of http://.../. It appears
to be bombing since the schemes differ (although the rest of the URL path
will be the same)
I see several possible solutions here:
1. Do something in the svn client to have a special case to specify a
Destination "root" for particular hosts
2. Have the proxy modify the Destination header before passing it back
to the backend server.
3. Make mod_svn/dav/whatever not care if the scheme is different
(although, this sounds like it breaks spec, and is not very portable
to the ServerAlias/ServerName problem)
Hmm - now that I think about it, option 3 might in fact work well, if
there are some additional Apache config directives to add additional
allowable Destination URI's for a SVN root.
I believe that this thread (that you started :)) refers to the same
situation, only in that case it had to do with Apache ServerNames:

I haven't seen anything yet related to a difference in the request URI
scheme.

(hopefully the above discussion explains this)
