RE: Unlocking stolen file results in 400 Bad Request with token-header error

I have found the solution to this problem.

I had to include an '@ echo off' in the bat file that called my perl
script. Without it the "UUID Token:" would be set to the full call of
the script. Here is an example of how it is working properly:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>svnadmin lslocks
E:\svn\PES_Documents | more
Path: /CSIQA/Status/Longbow 2/ATF OPENs.xls
UUID Token: opaquelocktoken:f6efca00-0a6e-ee47-8335-29bacd3dabf3

Here is it if I steal the lock but first take with the "@ echo off"
commented out:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>svnadmin lslocks
E:\svn\PES_Documents | more
Path: /CSIQA/Status/Longbow 2/ATF OPENs.xls
UUID Token:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Apache2.2>C:\perl\bin\perl.exe
E:\SVN\PES_DOCUMENTS\hooks\pre-lock.pl E:\SVN
\PES_DOCUMENTS "/CSIQA/Status/Longbow 2/ATF OPENs.xls" morgag

I am glad I found the solution, but is this expected results?
