thank you very much for all of your help.
I configured apache httpd.conf with your example as a guide and it started
correctly, I think...
does svn on the server side have to be configured with the ability to handle
the https scheme?
my client is able to handle the https scheme, but when I try to access the
repo, I get the following:
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/repo1'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/repo1': could not connect to server (https://server)
any help or pointers will be appreciated
