I think you are mistaken, this error probably not returned by Subversion
(since it's not configured on that location) but by the Apache HTTPd
server itself. Most likely your server interprets the request as a
PROPFIND on directory "badname" within the directory defined by the
server configuration option DocumentRoot. The default server
configuration probably only allows GET requests on such paths; which
makes a kind of sense, since the PROPFIND method is defined by the DAV
protocol, not HTTP itself.
