Browsing the parent path and the "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" IE setting

[Pavel Lyalyakin]

Hello,

It appears that when the "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" setting is enabled in Internet Explorer and the server uses HTTPS, TortoiseSVN displays errors when trying to browse a parent path (i.e., a list of repositories). This setting is also in effect on Windows Server computers when IE ESC (Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration) is enabled.

Is this a known issue?

The errors vary depending on the version of TortoiseSVN.

TortoiseSVN 1.14.0:

[[[

The server at 'URL' does not support the

HTTP/DAV

protocol

]]]

TortoiseSVN 1.10.x:

[[[

The XML response contains invalid XML

Malformed XML: no element found at line 1

]]]

TSVN is using the API UrlDownloadToFile here, and that API is affected by that setting.

However, according to this the server also has to set the response headers to prevent caching. If caching is not prevented then it still should work, even with that setting enabled.
