G'day again,
Martin made the (in hindsight obvious!) suggestion to configure
https:// access on the internal server (in addition to the existing
svn:// access method) and then just forward port 443 through the
firewall. That way internal people can continue accessing it via
svn:// and external people can access it via https://.
As far as I can tell that would handle our case beautifully and would
be a lot simpler than trying to convert protocols (https:// to svn://)
on the fly via some kind of proxy process.
I guess the only complication is getting the configuration correct so
that having the multiple access methods on the internal server doesn't
hose the repository. That doesn't bother me too much, since it's a
topic that's received a fair bit of attention on this list.
Cheers,
Peter
