Re: Read access control with svnserver? (or must I use apache?)

So, to limit *read* access, I will have to use Apache
2.0?

Doe the webserver really have to be Apache 2.0? I
think I read it could not be Apache 1.3.

We currently have Microsoft's IIS 6.0 webserver, I
assume I cannot use Subversion on it.

It sounds like I will have to install Apache 2.0 in
order to get read access control.

thanks!
