PROPFIND Request Failed - Error 405 HTTP Method Not Allowed

This message comes in different flavours. You might be seeing this error when:

• PROPFIND Request Failed
  You tried to browse the parent path of a repository instead of the repository itself using an older version of TortoiseSVN. Try appending the name of the repository you wish to access, or upgrade TortoiseSVN to 1.2.3 or newer.
• PROPFIND Request Failed
  You forgot to append a '/' slash to the end of the URL you entered. Older versions of TSVN requires that there be a '/' after the repository name. If you forget this, TSVN will strip the repository name from the URL and therefore try to access the parent directory.
• PROPFIND Request Failed
  You try to access the repository through a proxy which does not allow DAV requests. Usually you can browse your repository with your webbrowser just fine, only if you use an svn client you get this error. You have to configure your proxy/firewall server to let DAV requests through. Or try using https instead of http: most proxies can't analyze encrypted network packets and therefore can't block DAV requests anymore.

  Another possibility for this error is a virus scanner/firewall you have running on your machine. A lot of those filter out DAV requests without you even noticing it. Try disabling the scanner/firewalll.

• Lock Request Failed
  You tried to lock a file in your working copy which no longer exists in the repository. Update your working copy before trying to lock files.
