WebDAV support: oo3.3 and oo3.4 are affecting each other
I'm testing IP clearance->libneon these days. You can find the details from
here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/IP_Clearance+Impact
To test WebDAV supporting, I set up a simple WebDAV server. It's the first
time for me to do this, and I just test the server on XP SP3 with oo3.3 as
client.
background:
on the XP, I installed both oo3.3 and Ooo-dev. Then upgrade oo3.3 to
r1293550 and found WebDAV doesn't work, then I uninstall r1293550 and
re-install oo3.3. With this oo3.3 I test my WebDAV server:
1. click File->open in openoffice then insert
http://9.123.153.36/webdavand click Open
2. a dialog appears asking for username&password
3. enter correct username/password, then press Enter
4. the folder opened and I can see all contents, then I select a .odt file
to open, succeeds.
So, I say my server works.
Yesterday I download r1296433 and upgrade oo3.3 to this latest build, then
repeat above steps. But in open dialog I found the pass
http://9.123.153.36/webdav is remembered, and it works.
To avoid impact of user profile of oo3.3, I kill all process and rename
folder C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application
Data\OpenOffice.org, then relaunch openoffice and try again, but in step 1
it says the file name is invalid...
Reuse the old user profile, it works.
Reuse the new one, it doesn't work.
So, I thought there may be some settings in user profile which is set when
installing.
Then, I find a clean XP SP3, I never installed openoffice on it, and
install oo3.4 r1296433. But it doesn't work with error "the above file name
is invalid"...
May be the server is invalid? Back to the original XP, I uninstall oo3.4,
remove the user profiles, re-install oo3.3, unfortunately, 3.3 doesn't work
either, with the same error message....
then I tried on Ubuntu 10.04: remove oo3.4 r1293550 which is upgraded from
oo 3.3, then install latest r1296433, repeat the steps, works
But when I modify then save, there is an Error message:
Error saving the document libnero:
Error transferring data to the internet.
Server error mesage: Internal Server Error
Maybe the permission on server is incorrect set? I will check later.
So, the server is working, but oo3.3 cannot work now...except for user
profile in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application
Data\OpenOffice.org, there is another place that openoffice is using?
other platforms I tried:
win7-64, intalled oo3.3, used for days, then uninstall and install oo3.4
r1296433:
1. click open then insert http://9.123.153.36/webdav and click Open
2. a dialog appears asking for username&password
3. enter correct user/password, then press Enter
Nothing happened...
Redhat 6.1: installed oo3.3, upgraded to a local build r1296612, then
uninstall and re-install the r1296433
1. click File->open in openoffice then insert
http://9.123.153.36/webdavand click Open
2. a dialog appears asking for username&password
3. enter correct username/password, then press Enter
4. the folder opened and I can see all contents
5. close it. do some other operations: copy image then paste...open/close...
6. click File->open in openoffice then insert
http://9.123.153.36/webdavand click Open
Nothing happened...

yes but this is the same behaviour as before and that is expected and
supported right now.
Seems that it work and with the fix from Oliver for https we should be
save for now.

I also tried this on Windows, open Tool->Options dialog, in
OpenOffice.org->Gernal, check on use OpenOffice.org save/open dialogs,
then, I can connect to my webdav server...This works on both the two XPs
that I mentioned before...
So, the problem is:
cannot connect to the webdav server by using system's native open dialog
but it's OK when using the openoffice open dialog.
While, system's open/save dialog is used by default

To open URL directly with the Mac OS X version, you need to use the
OpenOffice.org Open dialog box (not the Apple native one).
To achieve that, you'll have to open the preferences ( Apple + " , "
key) or Tools ->Options. Once done, in OpenOffice.org -> General ->
check the OpenOffice.org dialog box.
Then quit AOOo, and try to Open a file -> URL will be allowed (but
you'll lose the native box).
See: http://ftp.educoo.org/home/ApacheOpenOffice.org/open_URL/
AOOo_open_fr.pdf

Yes, me. Long time ago. We even had a patch for that, but it was
refused, because it could cause an issue with Calc. I don't remind
the issue number in IssueZilla, so you'll have to search using
"webdav" keyword os something similar.

How do you run this on Mac openoffice? I cannot type into the open dialog
on Mac 10.6, but can only select the local folders or the mounted folders.
The same when I want to insert an image via URL from Insert->Picture->From
File.... I attached the open dialog, can you show me where do you type the
URL? Thank you so much..
and, is there anybody can help me to recover my XP? I tried uninstall
openoffice and Ooo-dev then remove the user profile and the folder in
C:\Program Files, then re-install oo3.3 this morning, but it still cannot
connect to the WebDAV....

it seems you did an intensive testing. But I can't reproduce the
problems testing against a server running on Ubuntu and MacOS with
clients based on OOo3.3 or AOO3.4 r1296433 on Windows 7 and MacOS.
Ok I should say I was able to open documents (in sub-directories, with
spaces or special characters in the name) edit and save the documents.
Has anybody else tried to connect to a WebDAV server?
But I noticed a problem with https which needs further investigation, I
will submit an issue for that.
