RhodeCode CE/EE

Dear rhodecode,

When setting the prefix for rhodecode in rhodecode.ini svn http proxing does not work.

Our rhodecode server is accessed by http://kvmech.kverneland.com/rhodecode through a reverse proxy. Prefix /rhodecode is used to make this work.

On the same server apache is running with mod_dav svn accessible by "http://localhost:8090".

I tried two methodes to make it work:

1.

Set "svn.proxy.location_root = /rhodecode" in rhodecode.ini to make svn repos available on "http://localhost:8090/rhodecode/reponame"
Set the "Subversion HTTP Server URL" to "http://localhost:8090/rhodecode" (or "http://localhost:8090/rhodecode/") to proxy the requests to the correct url.
This does not work since the "/rhodecode" on the "Subversion HTTP Server URL" is ignored and requests are forwarded to "http://localhost:8090/reponame" instead of "http://localhost:8090/rhodecode/reponame"
Svn error mentions invalid XML returned. Rhodecode log shows a connection error to the SVN server.

2.

Set "svn.proxy.location_root = /" in rhodecode.ini to make svn repos available on "http://localhost:8090/reponame"
Set the "Subversion HTTP Server URL" to "http://localhost:8090" to proxy the requests to the correct url.
This does not work. svn error is received telling "kvmech.kverneland.com/reponame" is not the same repo as "kvmech.kverneland.com/rhodecode/reponame"

In both cases the svn server can be accessed directly by "http://localhost:8090/rhodecode" or "http://localhost:8090".

The current work around is to change simplesvn.py:
From:

    def _get_url(self, path):
        url_path = urlparse.urljoin(
            self.config.get('subversion_http_server_url', ''), path)
        url_path = urllib.quote(url_path, safe="/:=~+!$,;'")
        return url_path

To:

    def _get_url(self, path):
        url_path = urlparse.urljoin(
            self.config.get('subversion_http_server_url', ''), '/rhodecode' + path)
            #self.config.get('subversion_http_server_url', ''), path)
        url_path = urllib.quote(url_path, safe="/:=~+!$,;'")
        return url_path

I got to this workaround with the help of admin on the rhodecode slack channel. Is there a better solution for this?
