I did that by using an https://localhost URL.  I also had to turn off Kerberos authentication, use "Require all granted", and hide the AuthzSVNAccessFile.  I assume Kerberos was failing because the Server Principal Name doesn't use localhost, and I assume AuthzSVNAccessFile doesn't work with "Require all granted".

That sounds like a useful data point, but I'm not sure what to do with it.  It points at our network.  My system administrators are convinced there's no proxy or reverse proxy.  I expect there is security scanning going on, but it's nothing our production server hasn't handled fine for many years.  It's also an Apache HTTP server, but uses SVN 1.9.7.

Hi Jim,

This may be a silly question, but has hardware been checked? I would
start by checking: network wiring to the machine; the machine's RAM.

Thanks,
