Which HTTP methods does Subversion use?

Question

Our company's proxy server does not allow some HTTP methods which are used by Subversion's http protocol. As I will contact our IT support to enable them, I wonder what the full list of those methods is? Are there any other methods (besides the common ones) used by SVN other than PROPFIND?

Answer 1

From the Apache page on Subversion:

 OPTIONS, PROPFIND, GET, REPORT,
 MKACTIVITY, PROPPATCH, PUT, CHECKOUT, MKCOL,
 MOVE, COPY, DELETE, LOCK, UNLOCK, MERGE

For read operations (read only access), the first 4 are enough:

OPTIONS, PROPFIND, GET, REPORT
