SSL/Certificate problem on SVN

Hi,

I just added an enlistment to the Petals project https://www.ohloh.net/p/petals and it fails. SVN is located at https://svn.petalslink.com/svnroot/trunk/dev/ with a read access to user anonymous with password anonymous. It seems that there are certificate problem (tested in a standard browser display a warning).
I saw several times that you need to accept the certificate yourself. Can you check it?
Thanks a lot.

Christophe,

We normally run our crawlers in --trust-server-cert mode so the certificate issue isn't a problem. However the following IS causing a problem:

Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to OPTIONS request for '[https://svn.petalslink.com/svnroot/trunk0'](https://svn.petalslink.com/svnroot/trunk0'")

It looks as if anonymous access to this particular path is not available. Let me know what you can find out...

Thanks!

URL is https://svn.petalslink.com/svnroot/trunk/dev/ and not https://svn.petalslink.com/svnroot/trunk0. Looks to work from a clean web browser with anonymous/anonymous. Can you try this url?

Just have confirmation from our sysadmin that trunk/dev has anonymous access

Christophe,

I can confirm that trunk/dev works OK for anonymous checkouts (revision 25886) but the command we use that's failing (svn info) receives a forbidden message to the request which comes back as trunk0/dev even when it is issued as trunk/dev - This happens on my workstation as well as the ohloh crawler.

That is what strikes me funny - we run svn info commands successively to get basic information about every commit we find. Could anonymous access be permitted for checkout and denied for info requests?

Thanks!

Wow, strange. Going to check that, thanks!

OK, so in fact there were many merges on this repository and one day there was trunk0 somewhere. It looks that there is an issue on our side. Can you tell me exactly which commands are you launching to get this trunk0/dev thing?

Christophe,

svn info --trust-server-cert --non-interactive -r 23913 --username='anonymous' --password='anonymous' --no-auth-cache '[https://svn.petalslink.com/svnroot/trunk0/dev@23913'](https://svn.petalslink.com/svnroot/trunk0/dev@23913') failed: svn: access to '[https://svn.petalslink.com/svnroot/trunk0/dev'](https://svn.petalslink.com/svnroot/trunk0/dev') forbidden

Christophe and Mikael,

The eclipse enlistment has gone as far as it is able. It failed several times but is always revived with a reschedule. Seems this repo is either intermittent or has a limit on repeated transactions from the same source. Hopefully it will survive future updates OK where the load is much lighter (only new commits are downloaded or examined.)

Now to get the link enlistment working...

Thanks!

Hi,

I just tried with svn:// instead of https:// and it seems to work better... Let's see if it fails

Apparently it was working but finally failed too.
Maybe this is an issue with timeout or something like that? ssnow, do you have any clue?

Christophe and Mikael,

The link repository is only delayed due to a Runtime limit exceeded message on our side. It will resume in about 4 hours. It is at (442/1058) commits processed. I will look in on it in that amount of time.

Thanks!

Christophe and Mikael,

The FetchJob on the link repo and all following jobs finished OK. An update ran immediately afterward with added commits. Analysis page is at Jul 20 2011 and last commit is at 2011-07-19.

Please let me know here if problems show up again.

Thanks!
