Subversion with serf: qop="auth" authentication not supported

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'm using MacPorts Subversion 1.6.17 to commit to the MacPorts Subversion repository, and it works fine when using the default neon http library. But serf is scheduled to become the default http library in Subversion 1.8 and as recommended on the Subversion users list I wanted to get a heads up and try it now (by setting "http-library = serf" in ~/.subversion/servers). I got this problem:

$ svn ci -m "..."
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: qop="auth" authentication not supported.
Authentication failed
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn:    '.../svn-commit.tmp'

I see this was reported years ago here:

​http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498340

The response was: "The AuthDigestDomain parameter is incorrectly configured on this server" and "remove the AuthDigestDomain parameter or set it to a path or URI prefix." Could you check the server configuration?

The server config looks correct and I cannot reproduce. What is the output of "svn info" for that working copy? What about serf debug output?

I'm closing this ticket. I guess it's no longer relevant now that we switched to git.
