We have a Subversion repository which by default requires authentication disables all anonymous access, but enables anonymous access for certain directories. For Subversion 1.6 and 1.7 clients this works fine for anonymous access. However, when using Subversion 1.8 and 1.9, a request for the same directory that worked fine under 1.7 requires authentication. A quick wireshark seems to indicate that during the PROPFIND calls made by 1.8+ clients, the client somehow hits an authenticated path.
Can anyone shed some light on this behavior? Thanks -- Mark Bidewell http://www.linkedin.com/in/markbidewell
