Priority: medium
Bug ID: 65261
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: : WebDAV: On Ubuntu, LibreOffice does not handle
vnd.sun.star.webdav protocol out-of-the-box
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.2.2 release
Component: Libreoffice
Product: LibreOffice
Libreoffice is able to open documents located on a WebDAV server if provided
with an URL starting with the vnd.sun.star.webdav protocol.
(for instance: vnd.sun.star.webdav://example.com/webdav/my-document.odt )
Unfortunately, after installing Libreoffice on Ubuntu these URL aren't still
handled correctly.
Whether you click on a link in your browser or you try to open the URL from the
command line with xdg-open vnd.sun.star.webdav://... you get a message saying
that this protocol is unknown.
What I expected was that LibreOffice would start and would open the document.
A workaround is to create a Desktop file with the following informations:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=WebDav LibreOffice
Exec=/usr/bin/libreoffice %u
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Categories=System;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/vnd.sun.star.webdav;
and then to copy it in /usr/share/applications
Afterwards you have to run sudo update-desktop-database so that Ubuntu will
take the new protocol into account.
A more definitive solution would be to modify the libreoffice-base Desktop file
that comes with libreoffice (also located in /usr/share/applications) to add
the MimeType properties described above.
Note: I have also filled a bug report in Ubuntu's launchpad, but the comment in
the desktop file state that it is part of the LibreOffice project. As I'm not
sure which project is able to fix this bug, I've open a bug report on both
bugtrackers. Sorry for the mess!
