Bug ID: 466339
Summary: Error saving modified file in WebDAV mount on Windows
Classification: Applications
Product: ghostwriter
Version: unspecified
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
While resaving a file hosted on WebDAV mapped to drive on Windows, ghostwriter
fails with the error:
Error saving N:/notes/test.md
Writing cancelled by application
On the WebDAV (Apache) side I see the error:
This resource is locked and an "If:" header was not supplied to allow access to
the resource.
The following bug report indicates that Word has the same problem, and it's
something to do with the order or mechanism for saving (overwrite modified file
doesn't release the lock first)

Resaving succeeds when the share is mounted on Ubuntu with same version of
ghostwriter (for linux).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Map a WebDAV share (https://webdav.example.com/) to H:
2. Start ghostwriter
3. Save file anywhere in N:\
4. Try to save file again [ Ctrl ] + [ S ]
OBSERVED RESULT
Changes not saved, with error:
Error saving N:/notes/test.md
Writing cancelled by application
Only works if saved as a new file
EXPECTED RESULT
Saved changes to existing file
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
ghostwriter version 2.1.6 - portable
Docker image of httpd:bullseye-2.4.55 (Apache 2.4.55) hosting WebDAV.
