Thanks for putting up the instructions ! :)

Much appreciated. Will be useful for other Eclipse users

what are the security issues if I do not use https? Can someone hack into my repo? Is this feature worth shelling out money for?

Well, when it comes to SSL, the connection with the server is encrypted, so, you do have (some!) guarantee that there are no prying eyes.

Don’t think anyone can hack into your repository unless they peek into network traffic and see your password.

On the question of upgrading, it all depends on what you’re storing in your repository. If its really valuable IP and code, then I would recommend upgrading. Otherwise, if its just a pet project then yeah, I support non-SSL is fine. (disclaimer: I run xp-dev.com)

Thanks for putting this fix up floreal, same thing happened here.

If you are using TortoiseSVN and need to update your URL to non-SSL, right click on your root directory > TortoiseSVN > relocate. Easy as that.

Hi I was using non-SSL URL for free account before this upgrade. But now I am not able to conect to my reporsitory for my diploma thesis.
My Tortiose svn client response me this error message:
Server sent unexpected return value 403 forbidden. Request for 'http://svn2.xp-dev.com/svn/.....'
As you can see I am not using SSL.
Please, does anybody know, what am I doing wrong or where should be an error???
Thanks!

@Dave85 – you should really either create a support ticket for your issue, or create a new forum topic as its not at all related to the issue here. BUT, your problem is that you’re logging in with your username in lowercase, i.e. dave85 - try it with the exact case, i.e. Dave85

Yes you are right!!! Thanks a lot.

Another note is that user id of svn commit is case sensitive. i was getting similar problems
