Ssl – SVN + HTTPS = Could not read status line: connection was closed by server

apache-2.2httpsslsvntimeout

I have a problem with svn related with https, but with http it works. Here is the problem:

I can Checkout a repo in our SVN-Server, but I canĀ“t commit it, I get following error:

Commit
Commit failed (details follow):
OPTIONS of
'https://svn.example.com/svn/repo-name/trunk/dirname/':
Could not read status line: connection was closed by server (https://svn.example.com)

So I set the Loglevel higher an I found following message in the apache log:

[Thu Aug 04 14:16:54 2011] [info] [client 123.456.789.10] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: SSL input filter read failed.
[Thu Aug 04 14:16:54 2011] [info] [client 123.456.789.10] Connection closed to child 9 with standard shutdown (server svn.example.com:443)

The strange thing is, sometimes it works and the most time not. I use the svn-client tortoise.

Somebody have an idea where the problem is? At google I did not found anything helpful.

Try to disable the mod reqtimeout.
