### Please describe the problem. git-annex's WebDAV support does not like (aka it does not work) the WebDAV server of the freenet cloud. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? My first attempt was: WEBDAV_USERNAME='XXX' WEBDAV_PASSWORD='XXX' git annex initremote webdav type=webdav url='https://webmail.freenet.de/webdav' encryption=none initremote webdav (testing WebDAV server...) git-annex: WebDAV test failed: StatusCodeException (Status {statusCode = 401, statusMessage = "Unauthorized"}) [("Date","Fri, 04 Dec 2015 12:20:57 GMT"),("Server","Apache/2.2.16 (Debian)"),("WWW-Authenticate","Basic realm=\"MD-Cloud\""), ("Vary","Accept-Encoding"),("Content-Encoding","gzip"),("Content-Length","20"),("Connection","close"),("Content-Type","text/html; charset=iso-8859-15"),("X-Response-Body-Start",""),("X-Request-URL","MKCOL https://webmail.freenet.de:443/webdav/tmp")] (CJ {expose = []}): user error failed git-annex: initremote: 1 failed Ok this fails (what is the error?). However, it does create a folder "tmp" in the "cloud". A second attempt yields another error: WEBDAV_USERNAME='XXX' WEBDAV_PASSWORD='XXX' git annex initremote webdav type=webdav url='https://webmail.freenet.de/webdav' encryption=none initremote webdav (testing WebDAV server...) git-annex: WebDAV test failed: StatusCodeException (Status {statusCode = 501, statusMessage = "Not Implemented"}) [("Date","Fri, 04 Dec 2015 12:21:22 GMT"),("Server","Apache/2.2.16 (Debian)"),("Content-Length","349"),("Connection","close"), ("Content-Type","application/xml; charset=utf-8"),("X-Response-Body-Start","\n\n Sabre\\DAV\\Exception\\NotImplemented\n This server is not compatible with OS/X finder. Consider using a different WebDAV client or webserver.\n 1.8.6\n\n"),("X-Request-URL","PUT https://webmail.freenet.de:443/webdav /tmp/git-annex-test")] (CJ {expose = []}): user error failed git-annex: initremote: 1 failed which is I guess the same. The WebDAV server does support writing and locking files. I tried writing using davfs2 and locking-unlocking using cadaver. I guess in the end that it's the server's fault, but it would be great to know what exactly fails at this point :). ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? git-annex version: 5.20151116-gbe86081 Gentoo Linux ### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders) First time trying WebDAV support.
