Thanks!
I tried your above suggestion, and this is what I got:

$ svn list http://host.domain.com/svn/svn1
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/svn1'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/svn1': 302 Found (http://host.domain.com)

Is this expected?
The above modification changes the error code from
"405 Method Not Allowed" to "302 Found (http://host.domain.com)"
