Hi, I stumbled upon a misbehavior of the svn client. Providing http basic auth over the --non-interactive option, does not work
svn checkout --non-interactive --no-auth-cache --username <username> --password <Password> <URL> > svn: E170001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://xxx' > svn: E170001: OPTIONS of 'http://xxx': authorization failed: Could not > authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (http://xxx) > > v1:tmp zeph$ svn --version > svn, version 1.7.8 (r1419691) > compiled Jan 3 2013, 13:26:29 > > on OsX 10.7.5 with Homebrew either with… > svn: OPTIONS of 'http://xxx': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to > server: rejected Basic challenge (http://xxx) on an Amazon's linux machine > root@ip-10-48-162-xxx:~# svn --version > ]svn, version 1.6.6 (r40053) > compiled Jun 5 2011, 14:52:04 > root@ip-10-48-162-xxx:~# uname -a > Linux ip-10-48-162-xxx 2.6.32-302-ec2 #6-Ubuntu SMP Sat Feb 6 19:33:14 UTC > 2010 i686 GNU/Linux some other people seem to have experienced the same… - http://serverfault.com/questions/19940/svn-client-authentication-error - http://subversion.open.collab.net/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4&viewType=browseAll&dsMessageId=453191 - https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONARPLUGINS-2561 Can you confirm it?
