Description

Set up apache with SSL and authn. The following command works with 1.7/neon, it
prompts for the password associated with the user in the URL.

svn ls https://pm@localhost:8887/obj/repo

the apache access log starts:

::1 - - [10/Sep/2013:15:33:17 +0100] "OPTIONS /obj/repo HTTP/1.1" 401 401 Length:104
::1 - pm [10/Sep/2013:15:33:19 +0100] "OPTIONS /obj/repo HTTP/1.1" 200 188
Length:104

With 1.8/serf the command simply fails with 400 'Bad request'.  The apache
access log is just:

::1 - - [10/Sep/2013:15:34:20 +0100] "OPTIONS /obj/repo HTTP/1.1" 400 226 Length:131

This is a regression from 1.7/neon.
