Apache Subversion has problems behind Nestcaler ADC

Description
Customer has a HTTP Load Balancer and is looking to Load Balancer an application that uses Apache Subversion requests (SVN)
SVN uses non standard HTTP request methods (I think these are nonstandard HTTP methods used by SVN - PROPFIND REPORT MKACTIVITY PROPPATCH CHECKOUT MKCOL MOVE COPY DELETE )LOCK UNLOCK MERGE).
If the customer uses a SVN request, it never reaches the backend through the NetScaler.
All standard HTTP requests are allowed through
Resolution
Since the traffic that was received was not strictly HTTP/1.1, the NetScaler will drop this, for security reasons. Due this, customer will need to use a TCP or TCP_SSL Load Balancer.
The Load Balancer that was being used, had the Protocol set to HTTP
Problem Cause
Subversion (SVN) tries to replicate HTTP traffic, but is a different protocol from HTTP.The Load Balancer that was being used, had the Protocol set to HTTP
