cloning via http produces http 500 path/to/repo "not found" error

[Jones, JonathanX]

When some users try to clone a repo using the web url, they receive an error such as:

"abort: HTTP Error 500: repository D:\repos\ repository1 not found"

But if they use the UNC path (we're hosting Mercurial on Windows Server 2k8 by the way), it works fine.

Traceback (anonymized):

C:\Users\username\Desktop\repos\REPO>hg clone https://username@serverurl.com/in
dex.py/REPO . --debug --traceback
