Does TortoiseSVN supports cookies?
Claudia....@ricoh-europe.com
Hello,
Our Company uses Atlassian Crowd for Single Sign-On. We already have Apache * Subversion integrated with Crowd. Now we would like to integrate TortoiseSVN too. Crowd uses Cookies as SSO tokens. My question is: Does TortoisesSVN supports Cookies? Or it will ignore them? Can I configure it?
Regards,
Santos

Cookies are for web browsers. TSVN and Subversion are not browsers and
therefore don't support cookies.

Cookies are for HTTP clients. There are many programmatic HTTP clients that support cookies that are not browsers. For example: http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/cookies.html
As an HTTP client, TortoiseSVN could choose to support or not support cookies -- it's just a matter of honoring the "Set-Cookie" HTTP header.
However, I don't think this problem or feature request would be specific to TortsoiseSVN, as the HTTP client is actually the Subversion binaries themselves. Seems like cookie support is a feature request that should be submitted to core Subversion and baked-in, so that ALL subversion clients that support HTTP would support cookies...

SVN clients do NOT really use http but the WebDAV protocol. Therefore
svn clients are not http clients.

Correct.

That's overstating the situation, since WebDAV is an extension to HTTP: "HTTP Extensions for Distributed Authoring -- WEBDAV", http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2518.txt
A WebDAV client shouldn't omit the HTTP/1.1 "Host:" header because it's a WebDAV client and not an HTTP client. And it shouldn't ignore the Set-Cookie header because it's a WebDAV client and not an HTTP client. Certainly, there may be other reasons to not accept cookies, but "oh, it's WebDAV, not HTTP" isn't one of them.
