I agree. Could you please file an appropriate issue in our tracker (if there isn't one already)? FWIW, an easy way to reproduce this is: $svn ls -R http://svncorp.org/svncorp/svn/trunk .. subversion/svn/list-cmd.c:289 subversion/libsvn_client/list.c:272 subversion/libsvn_client/list.c:107 subversion/libsvn_client/list.c:73 ... svn: access to '/svncorp/svn/trunk/private' forbidden Which yields error SVN_ERR_RA_DAV_MALFORMED_DATA under ra_serf and error SVN_ERR_RA_DAV_FORBIDDEN under ra_neon. (I haven't tested ra_local and ra_svn.) Ideally, the fix for this issue will include making ra_serf return the latter (more specific) error code. Thanks! Daniel
