Getting a read-only copy of an svn repository

I found an interesting opensource library in the internet which I want to download. The instruction in their website is:

You can download the source code from our subversion repository, at: https://svn.oursvnurl

I can click on the link above and browse the code in the web browser. I then tried to check out the repo and get the following:

svn co https://svn.oursvnurl
Authentication realm: <https://svn.oursvnurl:443> SVN at blah lab
Password for 'sarkar':

Which I obviously don't have. Then I tried to switch to http and find:

svn co http://svn.oursvnurl
svn: E175011: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://ssvn.oursvnurl'
svn: E175011: Repository moved temporarily to 'https://svn.oursvnurl'; please relocate

Is there anyway to get the repo? I don't want to commit; just a readonly copy will be fine for me.

There is something called svn export for getting the repo without having any intend to contribute to the original copy (which is more or less read-only version of svn checkout). I successfully downloaded the svn repo by:

svn export https://svn.oursvnurl
