Just a side note : Apache should be able to do form authentication soon (?) : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_auth_form.html Emmanuel (...) I've seen mention of apache using a login page, rather than the usual popup. Is there a way to do that? It might have a nicer feel for users.

Thanks to everyone for some really good information. @Marc Paterman, svn's apache module is dav_svn, so it's definitely DAV related. I'm not sure if it simply supports DAV or if that is its native mode; I suspect the former. On Tue, 2009-05-12 at 10:05 +0200, Peter Schober wrote: Ross et al.,
