Branko Čibej commented on SVN-4790:
-----------------------------------
Both {{mod_dav_svn}} and {{mod_authz_svn}} assume that the location parameter
is a normal urlpath. So in two cases — the location parameter is a regular
expression or when it contains an HTTPd expression — neither module will
calculate the matched location correctly.
> Make mod_dav_svn and mod_authz_svn work with expressions and regex

> Project: Subversion
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: mod_dav_svn
> Affects Versions: all
> Reporter: Branko Čibej
> Assignee: Branko Čibej
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently {{mod_dav_svn}} takes its the {{root_dir}} parameter from the
> argument of the {{<Location>}} block where it's configured. This does not
> work if the argument is a regular expression, as in:
> {noformat}
> <Location ~ REGEX>
> DAV svn
> ...
> </Location>
> {noformat}
> or
> {noformat}
> <LocationMatch REGEX>
> DAV svn
> ...
> </LocationMatch>
> {noformat}
> In these cases, the {{root_dir}} parameter will be set to the actual regular
> expression, not the path matched in the request URL. Fixing this is rather
> essential for supporting [expressions in
> {{mod_dav_svn}}|https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/mod-dav-svn-expressions/BRANCH-README].
