Is there any news from Edgewall to support https access to the Trac
repository ?
As already expressed by another user on this ML, https:// access to Trac
repository would be very nice:
Users behind proxies (which has befallen many of us), who want to
retrieve the Trac source from the repository, are in trouble:
Enterprise proxies usually do not support DAV extension to HTTP.
Therefore, Subversion protocol is filtered out by the proxy (PROPFIND
HTTP command for example cannot be relayed by non-DAV enabled proxies)
If Edgewall were offering https access to their Subversion repository,
the proxy issue would not exist anymore: HTTPS cannot be analysed /
filtered by proxies: packets are simply forwarded by the proxy, as the
latter is not able to parse the encrypted (browser - repository) stream.
I'm using such a transmission channel to access another repository from
my office, and it works quite smoothly.
Thanks,
Emmanuel
