Wow, fast response.

I'not sure what a wiretrace is. I've inlined related pieces from apache logs.

access.log:
::1 - - [31/May/2013:15:33:34 +0200] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 -
xx.yy.zz.uu - - [31/May/2013:15:46:00 +0200] "OPTIONS /svn/xxx HTTP/1.1" 401 401

xx.yy.zz.uu : ip address
aaa.bbb : account name
xxx : repository path

error.log:
nothing related to the error

With best regards,

Klaus
