clients not supporting http?

Hi All,

I recently set up svn over http for a project I'm involved with. One
user made the following complaints:

(1) Some svn clients do not support the http protocol. This
is a common occurrence when a user builds svn from source.

Because the svn transport svn:// is the standard,
internal transport for svn, every svn client should
support it.

(2) When i attempted to download a single-file,
svn complained that the file name was not a directory
name and rejected the request.

Is this true, that "some svn clients do not support http"? This seems
unlikely to me. And I found
no examples when I searched google. I believe this user is on a Solaris
machine.

Also, should he be having trouble downloading a single file? I can address
this second issue
with him - I primarily wanted to get the list's input on the first question.

Thanks very much,

Jason Aubrey
