subversion and proxy cache
Hello,
I want to use subversion on multiple sites. We have low network bandwidth, so i want to setup a proxy to cache svn request.
Is svn designed to be cached with a proxy ? What proxy would you suggest ?
Thanks,
Ronan

RE: subversion and proxy cache
Posted by Mark <ma...@msdhub.com>.
Subversion (in Apache via mod_dav_svn) uses a protocol called DELTAV which
is a superset of WEBDAV which is a superset of HTTP (superset being a loose
term here).
Due to the nature of these protocols, a proxy would have to know specific
implementation details, not just cache arbitrary requests. To my knowledge,
there's no cache that can do that.
Subversion (via svnserve) uses a custom protocol. There is no caching proxy
for this.
Due to the nature of what Subversion (and other VCS) is, only a read-only
repository could be cached safely anyway.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Mark
