Thanks for the reply. I had just found basically the same information in this post:

I checked and our firewall is blocking the WebDAV methods. Unfortunately, after speaking with our IT there perception is WebDAV is a security risk and won't unblock it. I can't comment on whether it is or not. I wonder how many corporate environments this is true in. It definitely makes it difficult on us developers. SSL would work as it is allowed. While we would be willing to chip towards a SSL certificate for Reactor, it doesn't solve the issue for other open-source projects we want to access. Does anyone have any convincing documentation that WebDAV is not a security risk?

WebDAV is an extension of HTTP protocol that adds new HTTP methods and
headers. The DAV specification defines how the extensions, how
requests/responses are formatted which changes the existing HTTP
behavior. PROPFIND is used to retrieve properties usually persisted as
XML from a resource. Your firewall is introspecting the packets and
blocking them causing your SVN client to assume that the requested
property cannot be found. You'll have to look at your firewall's
documentation to see if they will allow WebDAV packets through. Another
solution is for Reactor SVN to allow SSL (HTTPS) connections - no
firewall can decode those and I doubt you block HTTPS requests.
Best,
