Bazaar Subversion Plugin

Can bzr-svn handle http code 401?

Asked by Eddy Mulyono on 2007-08-11

bzr branch http://www.example.com/svn/sample_project/trunk
bzr: ERROR: Invalid http response for http://www.example.com/svn/sample_project/trunk/.bzr/branch-format: Unable to handle http code 401: Authorization Required

Can bzr-svn handle http code 401?

If yes, starting from which version?

Thanx, in advance,

This error actually happens before bzr-svn is used at all and comes from bzr.

Please try adding the prefix 'svn+' to the url.

Worked for me too. Thank you.

I found one thing about it. When i use svn+http:// i get message that this is obsolete. If I use http:// only, I cannot checkout SVN repository.

 Can you be more specific? What error do you get if you use "http://" only?

Cheers,

I have had the same problem with the same solution, but the funny thing that Michal said is this:

$ bzr checkout https://foobar.com/some/repo/trunk trunk
bzr: ERROR: Invalid http response for https://foobar.com/some/repo/trunk/.bzr/branch-format: Unable to handle http code 401: Authorization Required
$ bzr checkout svn+https://foobar.com/some/repo/trunk trunk
The svn+ syntax is deprecated, use https://foobar.com/some/repo/trunk instead.

Hi,
i have similar problem, but svn+http not works:
$ bzr checkout http://<url> <name>
bzr: ERROR: Invalid http response for http://<url>/.bzr/branch-format: Unable to handle http code 401: Authorization Required
$ bzr checkout svn+http://<url> <name>
bzr: ERROR: Unsupported protocol for url "svn+http://<url>"

Environment: Ubuntu 9.04, bzr 1.13.1-1, bzr-svn 0.5.3-1.
I also made some experiments with bzr-eclipse and installed bzr-xmloutput 0.8.3.

 It looks like you don't have bzr-svn installed. Does "bzr plugins" list it?

bzr-svn 0.6.x should handle the 401 issue without problems.

Ermm Jelmer I think this is actually a problem.

I'm trying to use bzr-svn on bzr 2.0 Win32 (standalone installer).

using http://... gives 401 error (after oodles of time)
using svn+http://... gives the dreaded 'unsupported protocol'

Env: Windows

>bzr version

upload 1.0.0dev
    Upload a working tree, incrementally.

xmloutput 0.8.5
    This plugin provides xml output for status, log, annotate, missing, info,
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Bazaar\plugins\xmloutput

So it really appears to not work simply because of obsoleted url syntax.

 There shouldn't be any need to use svn+http:// *unless* you have pycurl
installed (I don't know from memory if this is the case with the
standalone win32 installer, and I don't have net access at the moment).

However, svn+http:// should work in any case. If it doesn't, this
suggests that bzr-svn is not at all installed or enabled. Do operations
against other svn URLs work?

Cheers,

Jelmer

 Well it is clearly installed according to the output of the commands I
posted

 I'll have a look tomorrow.
