RE: Solving problem with space in file names
Hi Ben, Marcus and all the helpful people on this mail list, Thank you for your help, all very useful suggestions. Since the problem really lies with the mod_dav module in Apache 2.2.25, in the end, I installed the Apache packages from OpenCSW. This installs Apache 2.2.22, which does not have the broken mod_dav. It fixes the problem, but of course I lose out on some other improvements in the mod_dav, and in Apache itself. The OpenCSW package is also non-standard as well as more convoluted, and it starts and stops far slower (don¹t know why) than the standard Apache package. I would prefer a fix for the standard OpenIndiana Apache package, and at your suggestion, I will ask the maintainers of OpenIndiana about this. My understanding is that Apache 2.2.26 includes (in fact, reverts) the bug in mod_dav, is that correct? Update; Just now Ben told me that indeed, 2.2.26 includes the fixes. As it isn¹t immediately obvious how to get the OpenCSW package working with SVN, and even less obvious how to get DB authentication (such as PostgreSQL) working, I can detail the steps here or elsewhere, if anyone is interested? Once again, great thanks to all the incredibly helpful people on this list, and all your suggestions are excellent and to the point.

Since I am running OpenIndiana I am simply using the apache that is supplied, and no other version seem to be easily installed... I tried the OpenCSW version, which is 2.2.22, but I get segmentation faults when using the same setup (SVN over web_dav, authentication using PostgreSQL)... If you don't want to upgrade httpd you can upgrade Subversion on the server to 1.7.x or newer and only use 1.7.x or newer clients (which you seem to already be doing by using 1.8.x versions of TortoiseSVN). Another workaround which might be applicable for your setup is to use the svn or svn+ssh protocols - they both avoid mod_dav at all. :-) Best regards Markus Schaber CODESYS(r) a trademark of 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH Inspiring Automation Solutions 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH Dipl.-Inf.

RE: Solving problem with space in file names
Stefa, Thanks also to you, and you're right, it will benefit us all better if downstream projects pick fixes up, leaving you free to work on other issues.

If the below problem is indeed due to the problematic web_dav, is there a pre-compiled web_dav with the patch suggested in another thread here? This is getting desperate, since I have thousands of files in SVN, many with spaces in the file names, since before upgrading to OpenIndiana… I suspect there are no patched binaries for OpenIndiana. I'd suggest you contact the OpenIndiana project about this.
