Kaspersky Anti Virus 6 and Subversion problems

I've spent a good part of my day today in trying to understand why I can't checkout our subversion repository. I was getting this: 
svn: REPORT of '/svn/repos/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request
google searches would make you think it's a proxy issue but I don't use or need one so after a lot of trial and errors I've found out that if you use Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6 it seems that if you use the Web Anti-Virus options with the recommended settings and you have the "Scan HTTP traffic" option on you end up with the problem above. It seems Kaspersky doesn't like the HTTP packets subversion uses so they get blocked. I really like Kaspersky and I recommend it to all but I hope they will address this issue as soon as possible as subversion is becoming the main open source VCS system. Any tips on this issue are welcome.

Hi Srgjan,
got the same problem.
Before reading your blog, my only solution was shutting down KAV 6. A simple but really unscure one. ;-)
So your hint to disable "Scan HTTP traffic" was very helpful, thank you!

Hi guys!

I had the same problem with Tortoise SVN and KAV 6. My solution was to add both 'bin\TortoiseProc.exe' and 'bin\TSVNCache.exe' as trusted applications with the option 'Do not scan network traffic'. You can apply these settings in KAV under Settings->Protection->Trusted zone...->Trusted applications.
With tis solution you don't need to turn off 'Scan HTTP traffic"

My issue with Pippan's solution is that I also use other clients for subversion so I have more of them to identify and allow (why doesn't kaspersky ask if I'd like to put the process in a trusted zone?). Also as some of these are java based, should I put entire the entire jvm in a trusted zone? This doesn't seem to be the wisest idea as java is as good of a language to write malware as any.

I loaded Kaspersky on an XP machine. It told me I had 3 trojans and I had to terminate them. After trying to locate the trojans I was able to delete them. Now my problems start. some applications now will not work - fatal error.soon more applications do not work. I repaired XP and reload Kaspersky after making sure every thing woked. soon my multimedia player will not play my DVD. Now my email is shot. I am also unable to use firefox tho my explorer is still working. I conclude I just bought CRAP as in 'Crapersky'

Thanks for blogging on this problem. It helped me find the source of the same problem with Kaspersky 6 and two different subversion clients.

On my system the error I got was an access denied on .svn/tempfile.tmp

I was able to resolve this by disabling file based AV at first. Then looking at Christoph's answer I added those two .exes and check off the don't scan files in addition to the network traffic option

It seems to be working now

The problem was only for large commits really, before this fix I had to break my commits into blocks with < 200 files

Reading your blog made me realise that there is a solution to KAV6 and that there is no need to switch of SCAN HTTP traffic. I personally use anti free software spyware virus and I am still looking for something better.

Relaxing SSL validation for JaxWS

I've recently had the need to access a web service developed in .Net and signed with a self signed certificate. I've decided to use the JaxWS and the Metro stack to develop the client and run it on Java6. As a plus, the service was protected with username and password. The service was exposed on an IP address and I repetedly had problems in establishing a connection. In the end, thanks to this article, it was obvious that the certificate was not created with the alternative name attribute but it was not an option to change the certificate as the web service was already used by other consumers (.net clients don't suffer by this issue). So, on my quest to relax the validation, I've found out this article and code snippet, which did not compile at first (I guess package names were changed in JDK6) so I've did some trivial refactoring and now, after invoking the static methods in the client code, the SSL connection gets validated with no problems. Hope it helps and th...

Search and Replace in ODT using AODL

Recently I needed to create a way to search and replace a word in a OpenOffice OpenDocument ODT. It would seem the project itself already has a library AODL (take care, at least two other project pages but with older code) that exposes the format model but I didn't find any utility methods like search and replace functionality. I've created two versions of the method, one a old-style, imperative approach, and the other, a LINQ version. As I'm still new to LINQ it would seem that the classical approach produces a more efficient code. Anyone care to chip in and make a faster algorithm? In this particular version I'm just going for simple string equality, I didn't want to go with other StringComparison methods (just look at the Equals overload method). public static void SearchAndReplaceString(TextDocument document, string searchText, string replaceText) { var content = document.Content; foreach (var item in content) ...
