[Python-Dev] HTTPS read-only SVN access is denied? (original) (raw)

SVN checkout over HTTPS protocol requires password. Is it intentional or just temporary server issue? I am behind a proxy that doesn't support PROPFIND requests and I can't test SVN+SSH, because 22 port is closed.

Site docs keep silence about that HTTPS is used at all. Shouldn't authentication be asked only on write access in normal SVN setup?

Not necessarily - as you say, it's undocumented (and will remain so); in any case, I have now granted anonymous read access to that repository, through https.

That there was access at all was for the sake of a completely unrelated repository for which even anonymous read access is denied (and remains so).

Regards, Martin
