Out of interest, does ra_serf behave "nicely" too. A "grep 403 *" in
both the trunk code and the 1.6.11 code I have here suggest the answer
may be "no". 403 is mentioned in only commit.c and locks.c, so perhaps
write failures will give appropriate warnings, but not read failures?

I haven't got an ra_serf enabled build of Subversion here to test.
(Fedora (12) doesn't have a serf package)

Cheers,

John.
