Zero K Files With Autoversioning and WebDrive

[Brad Rhoads <bd...@gmail.com>]

I have a repository in \svn\webdav with autoversioning on. I have this
directory mounted using webdrive on my desktop maching and on the
svn+apache server (2003) itself. The apache server is using SSPI
authentication.

I'm having three problems:

1. The webdrive mounted on my server shows a 0K file that is 1K on my
desktop mounted webdrive.
2. In general, webdrives mounting the same real directory aren't
staying in sync.
3. Subversion is getting OK files committed. My client machine also
has the repository checked out. And several of the files, including 1
that was just added via the server's webdrive, is zero K.

I'm emailing with webdrive support, but I thought someone here might
have seen this problem with svn before.

After a lot of back and forth with tech support, the short term fix
was to turn off persistent connections in webdrive.

"yes I should have realized this [the domain wasn't being sent as part
of the userid; when using SSPI, the userid needs to be
DOMAIN\userid,not just userid] sooner.  You are doing NTLM
authentication.  However it looks like the folder were you are
uploading allows public access ?   It should go through a handshake
authentication process but instead just allows the zero byte upload.
Webdrive only does this for NTLM authentication because it assumes
that it needs to perform the handshake.

It looks like your server supports basic, you can use basic
authentication for now until I figure out a work around.   Or you
could turn off persistent connections on the same dialog.  These are
on the site properties/HTTP settings dialog.

I have seen this before using WebDrive.  Would definitely contact SRT's tech
support for the product.  I can't say with 100% certainty is not an SVN
issue, but can say I've never seen the behavior with any other SVN/WebDAV
client.

have also had troubles with files getting 'zero'd' -- a save through
WebDrive truncates the file in the repository, leaving it at a zero-byte
length.  Completely random, infrequent, and not reproducible (by me, anyway)
