Our new (much faster) Subversion server now allows all reads to be anonymous, just like our Mercurial server -- SSL or not. The only way to get an authn challenge is to do a write request. Maybe you could do something simple like a remote modification of a revision-property. For example, you could create a "changeme" property on revision 0, and attempt to change the value by doing an 'svn propset --revprop -r0 changeme newvalue'.
