Submit of https svn failed

I tried to add my repository to my SumatraPDF project. My repository is:

C:>svn --username=anon --password=anon info https://repo.kowalczyk.info/svn/sumatrapdf

Path: sumatrapdf
URL: https://repo.kowalczyk.info/svn/sumatrapdf
Repository Root: https://repo.kowalczyk.info/svn/sumatrapdf

However, when I used web interface to submit Subversion with url https://repo.kowalczyk.info/svn/sumatrapdf and username/password set to anon, I get error message:

The server did not respond to a 'svn info' command. Is the URL correct?

As you can see above, svn info on those params does work for me.

Can it be that it's because I don't have an ssl certificate installed on my server (I only care that traffic is encrypted, I don't care that my server is recognized as certified)? I know that when using command line client, the first time you do a checkout of my project, svn does ask for manual acceptance of the server because of missing certificate. Maybe that's throwing off your scripts?

Hi kjk,

You're probably running into a problem on our end: subversion certificate acceptance. Subversion doesn't have a flag to auto-accept them - so our servers will reject new repositories until we manually accept them. I went ahead and accepted the 'https://repo.kowalczyk.info/svn/sumatrapdf' certificate so go ahead and re-add your enlistment -- and let me know if you get any problems.

It worked now. Thanks for looking into it.

Hi jason,
could you, please, also accept the certificate from the following repositories:

I'm trying enlist them at lscube (http://www.ohloh.net/projects/4659) project.

Thanx in advance!

Hi manchoz,

I accepted your certificate on our server farm. I added the enlistments to lscube and they are scheduled for download. Let me know if you have any more problems!

Could you also add https://svn.python.org/conference/django/trunk/ to the accepted certificate list? Thanks!

Done.

Hi sparky,

We are now using a patched version of Subversion which should automatically accept all valid certificates, so we should no longer require a manual intervention to download a project.

In this particular case, it turns out that the SSL certificate was invalid, because the certificate was issued to 'office.taskjuggler.org', not 'svn.taskjuggler.org'.

I've fixed up our system so that this scenario will be accepted by our system, and everything looks good now. I've added the repository to the TaskJuggler project, and the download should begin soon.

Thanks,
Robin
