[Numpy-discussion] https access to svn.scipy.org

[Glen W. Mabey]

Hello,

I am attempting to use the svn versions of numpy and scipy, but
apparently (according to http://www.sipfoundry.org/tools/svn-tips.html#proxy )
I am behind a less-than-agreeable web proxy, because I get

  $ svn co http://svn.scipy.org/svn/numpy/trunk numpy
  svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/numpy/!svn/vcc/default'
  svn: REPORT of '/svn/numpy/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request (http://svn.scipy.org)

The solution suggested in the above URL is to use https instead,
however, when I attempt this

  $ svn co https://svn.scipy.org/svn/numpy/trunk numpy
  svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/numpy/trunk'
  svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/numpy/trunk': 405 Method Not Allowed (https://svn.scipy.org)

it appears that svn.scipy.org is not setup to employ SSL.  Is this an
easy thing to do?

Please forgive me if this is just an issue of svn-ignorance on my part.

Thanks,
Glen Mabey
