Suppose you have the following subversion httpd server:
http://svn.mycompany.com/svn/<project-name>
Suppose you have complex authorization rules that specify who can read where and you have written them down in the svn-access-file.conf which contain the path-based authentication configuration.
Now suppose that you would test that the configuration file is correct (without modifying the history in subversion). You can test that a location is readable by a user (e.g. alex) using something like
wget --user=alex --password=******* http://svn.mycompany.com/svn/location/that-should-readable-from-alex/
You can test that a location is not readable by a user (e.g. bob) using something like
wget --user=bob --password=******* http://svn.mycompany.com/svn/location/that-shouldnt-readable-from-bob/
How to test that the location is (or isn't) writable by a user?
How do that in automatized way?
