Thanks a lot ! I'll to clarify a couple of points below.

    david> Related to: #72792

No, it's a different kind of problem.

    david> bzr 1.8
    david> webdav 1.6.0
    david> python 2.5
    david> pycurl 7.16.4

bzr-webdav doesn't make use of pycurl if you see pycurl involved,
we have a bug :)

    david> bzr init-repo http+webdav://<urlToRepo>
    david> gives me:
    david> bzr: ERROR: Invalid http response for http://<urlToRepo>: Unable to handle http code 401: Authorization Required

Basically either the credentials were not provided or they were
wrong (this doesn't imply a user error but it may be the case).

    david> bzr init-repo http+webdav://<user>:<pass>@<urlToRepo>
    david> gives me:
    david> bzr: ERROR: http://<urlToRepo> is permanently redirected to http://<urlToRepo/

As mentioned in the NOTES file in plugin directory:

	# DirectorySlash tells apache to reply with redirections if
	# directories miss their final '/'. It does not play well with
	# bzr (to they the least) and provide no benefits in our
	# case. So just turn it off.
	DirectorySlash Off

I think this is the root cause. Can you try that option on your
server ?

Can you join your authentication.conf to this bug so we can debug
it may be ?

You may also want to use -Dauth to see what section is taken into
account (or not).

<cough> You'd better change that password ASAP, basic is.. well, basic.

Sorry about that, I should have told you to censor that part of the log :-/
