Not compatible with MacOS Finder

[sidamos]

I have Caddy with this module configured and it is working fine for iPhone KeePassium.

For MacOS, I am using KeePassXC, which does not support webdav directly, so I have to mount the directory with MacOS Finder.

It lists the files, but I cannot create or rename files, so KeepassXC cannot save the database. I also tried create and rename directly in the Finder and it does not work.

After some investigation, it looks like MacOS requires the webdav server to support "Level 2 locking". Apache can do that and Nginx with some workarounds, but looks like this module does not.

I tried various configs, including the standard:

        webdav /dav/* {
                root /dav/
                prefix /dav
        }

I don't actually know a lot about WebDAV. I just put the x/net/webdav package into a Caddy handler :sweat_smile: I guess it doesn't support level-2 locking, but I'm not sure.

Anyone is welcome to tackle this!

Edit: I did just update the dependencies (they were quite old) so you could always update and try again in case they happened to recently add support.

Thank you for updating the dependencies! I rebuilt the caddy image and now I can create, rename and delete files in the webdav share on the Mac without problems.

However, this did not fix the problem with KeePassXC. But I found an "alternative storage method" in its preferences and with that, it does work. I don't know if that option also would have fixed it with the old webdav module version though.

So, there is still a difference between Caddy webdav and Apache webdav (because that did not require the "alternative storage method" of KeePassXC). I don't know if you want to keep this issue open because of that.

Huh, that's rather amazing. Glad it works.

I have no idea about KeePassXC -- I see that checkbox in their user manual but I'm not sure what it does. I haven't found an explanation.
