Per investigation with support@visualsvn.com, the root cause was the following line in the %VISUALSVN_SERVER%conf\httpd-custom.conf file:

Removing this line resolves the issue.

BTW, I can guess that the line was added to implement automatic redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. With modern VisualSVN Server versions, you can enable this redirection via the VisualSVN Server Manager console. Therefore, no need to add that line to the conf file.

You can follow these steps:

1. Start the VisualSVN Server Manager console.
2. Click Action | Properties.
3. Click Network tab.
4. Select the Automatically redirect HTTP to HTTPS (listen on port 80) option.
5. Click Apply.
