# server-version.py: print a Subversion server's version number
#
# USAGE: server-version.py URL
#
# The URL can contain any path on the server, as we are simply looking
# for Apache's response to OPTIONS, and its Server: header.
#
# EXAMPLE:
#
#   $ ./server-version.py http://svn.collab.net/
#                   or
#   $ ./server-version.py https://svn.collab.net/
