Hi all,
a few words about what I did (and found) on WebDAV.
Issue 125194 [1] though being observed while accessing a Sharepoint
WebDAV share, resulted in not being related to WebDAV directly, but
related to a couple of Windows API errors not correctly managed, see
issue description [1] for details.
Along the way we discovered the way Windows Office applications works
when WebDAV is involved and the path requested is UNC formatted.
A brief description of what happens can be found here [4].
I think that the best solution would be to have AOO works the same way.
To do this, both i126305 [2] and i126312 [3] should be addressed, then a
suitable implementation similar to [4] should be coded for AOO.
For i126305 I proposed a patch, whereas on i126312 I stumbled on
Windows, on Linux I more or less succeeded though with something I'm not
sure it's right.
For i126312 help is needed from someone with Python knowledge and
possibly SCons knowledge.
When i126312 is solved, I'll proceed with implementing something along
the lines of [4] in AOO.
