When you browse a repository in a web browser, only GET requests get sent. But when you use a real Subversion client, like TortoiseSVN, it uses other WebDAV methods, including OPTIONS. What you're seeing could be the result of a proxy that's not configured to pass WebDAV methods. Try disabling the use of the proxy, or if that's not possible, talk to your proxy administrator about supporting WebDAV methods.
