Bug Description
Binary package hint: subversion
I tested karmic and the https access to svn servers configured with optional client
certificates (so you can for example read without authenticating yourself, but
write access needs authentication with a client certificate) is broken.
steps to reproduce:
svn co http://
-> works
svn co https:/
-> works on 8.04, broken on all releases since, including karmic
source of the problem: gnutls doesn't implement SSL properly.
openssl did, so the old 8.04 packages linked against openssl
work fine.
yes, I know, the problem has been reported several times for 8.10 and 9.04,
but nothing ever happened. so I tested again for 9.10/karmic and to get your
attention to this problem, so maybe it will be fixed this time before release,
here is a new bug report. (see 366928 for older bug reports)
Hi Andreas,
Thanks for your report, however duplicate bugs just make the bugtracker more confusing, so I shall set this one as a duplicate of the earliest report of the same issue I have found, bug 294648.
Perhaps you could follow up there, elaborating on your reproduction steps? For me on Karmic, running "svn co https:/ /www.opensc- project. org/svn/ test/trunk" results in a prompt for a client certificate prompt - I'm not sure what to do at that point, and whether that constitutes working or not working.
