Peter,

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

http://qaix.com/content-management-system/292-465-magnolia-user-svn-access-from-behind-a-firewall-read.shtml

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?
You could create a proxy server in a DMZ that allows outgoing WebDAV requests.  TortoiseSVN and many other clients let you use a proxy.  Other than that, I don't know what else to suggest.
