If you've run a WebDAV SVN or GIT server, you'd know that it is - maybe not protocol-wise but definitely security-wise. WebDAV opens up a lot of functionality and attack surface on a web server that is better done without if possible. I am one of those "evil" network admins, and there's nothing stopping you from proxying your SVN traffic out over dozens of different transports. Take a look at 'proxychains' - it uses LD_PRELOAD to intercept completely proxy-unaware apps (like SVN using svn:// URIs) at the library level and proxies them as you choose. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
