Re: E120105 (or not): The server sent an improper HTTP response

Hello!

I'm having the same problem on Ubuntu, installed on the Raspberry pi2.

*svn: E120105: ra_serf: The server sent an improper HTTP response*

searched everywhere and I can't find a solution.

Did you fixed it?

E120105 is SERF_ERROR_BAD_HTTP_RESPONSE. You probably need to get a
trace of the network traffic to see what is going on:

Thanks for the answer.

I've already tried that, and did not work.  However, the weird think is
that I stopped working on it for a couple of hours, then, I just tried
again and it worked.
I'm not sure what is going on, I will do a network trace if it fails again
to test.

Thanks!

Re: E120105 (or not): The server sent an improper HTTP response

Hi Diego,

I can provide you with some clues about this (this is a wild guess
since I known nothing about your environment except the fact that you
run Subversion server on Raspberry Pi device with Ubuntu):

1. If you get this error with Subversion 1.8 client, try Subversion
1.7 client. If SVN 1.7 works without any errors, configure this
directive in your httpd.conf, restart Apache and see if you can still
reproduce the error:
[[
SVNAllowBulkUpdates Prefer
]]

Should look like this:
[[
<Location /svn/>
    SVNAllowBulkUpdates Prefer
</Location>
]]

2. Disable antivirus on the client machine and attempt reproducing the
error. You might be required to temporarily remove the antivirus
because it can still work even when disabled. What antivirus do you
use BTW?
