Bug Description
On 1.4rc1 with bzr 1.6rc1:
Given a Subversion repository accessed over authenticated https, the following behavior is encountered:
$ bzr co https:/
bzr: ERROR: Invalid http response for https:/
With the svn+ prefix:
$ bzr co svn+https:/
The svn+ syntax is deprecated, use https:/
...and then this seems to work.
I just installed bzr and bzr-svn to play with recently, and can't be certain this isn't an issue with my installation or its configuration. However, bug reports on this issue were specifically requested, so here goes.

I see this, too, and I don't think it's a local configuration issue. It looks like some normal part of bzr tries to access the URL before handing it over to bzr-svn, and that part is being confused by the 401. Prefixing the URL with svn+ forces handling to go directly to bzr-svn, bypassing the problem.
