I'm not 100% sure on that part - previously I had setup a read+write SVN repo over HTTPS (at $oldjob) so I went with the directions I had for that, just adjusted for read-only. Some Googling suggests that DAV is required. The official Subversion book lists DAV as a requirement[1]. Wikipedia seems to suggest it's required as well "Apache HTTP Server as network server, WebDAV/Delta-V for protocol. There is also an independent server process called svnserve that uses a custom protocol over TCP/IP." If someone knows a trick to serve it up over HTTP without DAV that would be good to know. Jim P.S. Realized I sent this directly, resending to the list, with an edit.
