Here's a summary of the specific issues I see in the current implementation: **1. Path normalization mismatch in `fs_path()`** The [`fs_path()`](https://github.com/apache/opendal/blob/27d5677d4526519313cbce00cd28f8fbcc099642/integrations/dav-server/src/fs.rs#L70-L72) method just does a UTF-8 conversion of the raw `DavPath` bytes without running `normalize_path()`. Meanwhile, `OpendalStream` normalizes the path for self-filtering [[1]](https://github.com/apache/opendal/blob/27d5677d4526519313cbce00cd28f8fbcc099642/integrations/dav-server/src/dir.rs#L43). This inconsistency means path comparisons elsewhere (e.g. in `metadata()`, `rename()`) use un-normalized DAV paths against OpenDAL's normalized internal paths. **2. Missing trailing slashes for collection operations** - `metadata()` passes the path as-is from `DavPath` [[2]](https://github.com/apache/opendal/blob/27d5677d4526519313cbce00cd28f8fbcc099642/integrations/dav-server/src/fs.rs#L107-L108) — if a client requests metadata for a collection without a trailing slash, OpenDAL may not resolve it as a directory. - `rename()` uses `as_rel_ospath()` [[3]](https://github.com/apache/opendal/blob/27d5677d4526519313cbce00cd28f8fbcc099642/integrations/dav-server/src/fs.rs#L177-L181) which strips the leading `/` but doesn't ensure a trailing `/` for collections, so directory renames may fail. - `remove_dir()` delegates directly to `remove_file()` [[4]](https://github.com/apache/opendal/blob/27d5677d4526519313cbce00cd28f8fbcc099642/integrations/dav-server/src/fs.rs#L163-L165) without ensuring the path has a trailing slash for OpenDAL's directory deletion semantics. **3. Overly coarse error mapping** The [`convert_error()`](https://github.com/apache/opendal/blob/27d5677d4526519313cbce00cd28f8fbcc099642/integrations/dav-server/src/utils.rs#L18-L26) function maps everything except `AlreadyExists`, `IsSameFile`, and `NotFound` to `FsError::GeneralFailure`. This means `Unsupported` (e.g. when `rename` isn't supported by the backend), conditional conflicts, and path-type errors all surface as generic failures to the WebDAV client instead of more meaningful HTTP status codes. **4. Rename logic for collections** The rename implementation [[5]](https://github.com/apache/opendal/blob/27d5677d4526519313cbce00cd28f8fbcc099642/integrations/dav-server/src/fs.rs#L182-L184) attempts to pre-delete the destination when `from.is_collection()` is true, but for empty-folder moves (like Windows Explorer's create-temp-folder-then-rename pattern), this may fail or be a no-op if the destination doesn't exist yet — and any failure from `remove_file` is silently ignored with `let _ =`. Since you've indicated you'd like to submit a PR, these would be the key areas to address. A recently merged PR ([#7876](https://github.com/apache/opendal/pull/7876)) already updated this crate to use `opendal-core` directly and refined imports, so you'll want to base your changes on the latest `main`. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fopendal).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
