Dear All, I'd like to setup http traffic to be redirected to https on our svn server. Redirection works all right in most of the cases, except when we have a file-external with http in the url. For file-externals, svn export works as expected (in the export log it is visible that there was a redirection and the file is fetched). However when trying to checkout a working copy, file-externals are not downloaded, the log shows errors like this:
Redirecting to URL 'https://myserver/svn/myrepo/TestFolder/Project2/test.txt ': Fetching external item into 'checkout_target\test.txt': svn: warning: W200035: sqlite[S19]: NOT NULL constraint failed: EXTERNALS.def_repos_relpath I found a similar bug report for folder-externals, which was fixed in SVN 1.8.5 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4428 Reproduction: - the webserver should be setup to redirect http traffic to https. In my case this is in the httpd config: Listen "80" http <VirtualHost *:80> UseCanonicalName off SSLEngine off RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}:443/$1 [R=301,L] </VirtualHost> - use this script to create a file external with http url, then run an export (there should be no problem) and a checkout (file external should fail with the above error) - assuming you have an empty TestFolder in SVN - create a batch file in an empty local folder and run it: svn co https://myserver/svn/myrepo/TestFolder cd TestFolder md Project1 md Project2 echo "test file" > .\Project2\test.txt svn add --force * svn commit -m "commit test structure" svn propset svn:externals " http://myserver/svn/myrepo/TestFolder/Project2/test.txt test.txt" Project1 svn commit -m "added http external" cd .. svn export "http://myserver/svn/myrepo/TestFolder/Project1"; .\export_target svn checkout "http://myserver/svn/myrepo/TestFolder/Project1"; .\checkout_target pause - you can find the output of my test attached Test environment: - Operating system is Windows 10 Home [10.0.19044] - I have tested with a fresh installation of VisualSVN server (5.1.3) with no customisation, except enabling the http-https redirect - VisualSVN came with Subversion 1.14.2 client Could you advise if this is a bug or I'm missing something?
