because nginx pass to backend https:// url in Destination header.

but http:// and https:// urls can not be mixed in COPY request.

workaround available:

server_name www.mydomain.com;

location /myproj/repos {

set $fixed_destination $http_destination; if ( $http_destination ~* ^https(.*)$ ) { set $fixed_destination http$1; }

proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header Destination $fixed_destination; proxy_pass http://subversion_hosts; }
