When I go to "http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcdocs/trunk"; it is empty.
I just found out that active scripting is required for

Is there a reason for this?
You are wrong. No scripting is needed for this page.
It is simply not meant for viewing in a browser, it returns XML used by a
SVN
client.
If you want to browse the repository, use the viewvc interface:
http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/?root=docs
http does not denote that a browser is the default and main client to use for
viewing this data?? that's a new one on me :? :(
It does not. HTTP denotes a client/server communication protocol.
Nowhere does the HTTP protocol specify that the content must be displayable.
It just happens to be the protocol used by a browser. And if the payload is
HTML, then the browser can display it directly.
