It was this change:

Reason phrase is an optional element of the HTTP response. This looks like a bug in whichever WebDAV client library is being used by LibreOffice.

I'll look into seeing what our options are for addressing this in the interim. I'll note though that, generally, we don't implement work-arounds for broken clients - especially ones no-one noticed for 3+ years.

A quick attempt at a hack to just put any text as the reason phrase didn't work. It looks like the client is looking for a specific reason phrase.

The good news is that LibreOffice isn't Microsoft, whose implementation of "WebDAV [fill-in-the-blank-client]" makes me rage with the heat of a thousand suns. They are likely to take this report seriously, if not expediciously, and hopefully it will get fixed.

If it's not too complicated, maybe someone from this community could even propose a patch for the bug. Jean-Max, is that something you could consider doing?

+1 that is likely to be the quickest way to a solution.

Hi,
I have an application and a webdav servlet with tomcat.
I am using libreoffice to edit and save files.
the command is:
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin ms-excel:ofe|u|https://cloud.example.com/WebDav/NESTOR/GERARD/Documents.xls --splash-pipe=5

With tomcat 9.0.31 and Ubuntu 20.04, all is OK, editing and saving
With tomcat 9.0.58 and Ubuntu 22.04, failed to save the document with message : Error saving document Documents.xls Unable to create object in directory https://cloud.example.com/WebDav/NESTOR/GERARD/Documents.xls
With tomcat 9.0.69 and centos 9, same as tomcat 9.0.58

For all the tomcat versions, it is OK with MS Office (Word, Excel, ...)
What happens between  tomcat 9.0.31 and tomcat9.0.58 ?

https://nightlies.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-9.0.x/docs/changelog.html

I am able to reproduce this with 11.0.x. I suspect one of the changes to more strictly follow the HTTP specifications is to blame. I'll do some debugging and report back.

Mark
