svn dropbox URL encoding

I keep my subversion repositories on dropbox. I want to checkout a copy of
my project, so I requested a sharing link. I got one but when I use svn
checkout, I got a URL not encoded message. I then encoded the two
characters (?,=) which occur in the URL but when I then use checkout, I get
the following. (I've changed the URL since it is a proprietary project).

svn: OPTIONS of
'https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r198XXXXXX5a/AXXXXXXXzu-G0ybr7RzlHea%3Fdl%3D0':
200 OK (https://www.dropbox.com)

I've no idea what OPTIONS means. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.
