Public bug reported: libneon doesn't work with Microsoft's IIS 7.5 WebDAV implementation, because there is an extra translate:f header added. This is not just for MS's implementation, other WebDAV servers apparently added it too. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19146-01/821-1828/gczya/index.html https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-wdvse/501879f9-3875-4d7a-ab88-3cecab440034
The docs say that IF the client doesn't send the header, the server should send back a URI to the resource, like a redirect, at least I think so. But, MS's implementation doesn't. Instead it just returns a "server error 500". This happens to me ONLY with files that have no extension. Example: using the WebDAV cadaver client, I can get "readme.txt",but I can't get a file called "config" (eg the config file in a .git folder). I used Burp Suite to inspect the HTTPS comms with the server and discovered the translate header.I tested with curl and sure enough it worked with the header. curl -H "translate: f" --insecure --proxy 127.0.0.1:8080 --user "user:pass" https://the.host.name/folder/project.git/config WORKED Without the -H "translate: f", the curl call did not work. The translate header seems to be added to just about every call to the WebDAV server, except HEAD. Attached is a patch that fixes up libneon, and that fixes cadaver and other such clients. I had to make an additional patch for davfs2 as it builds the requests without using neon's basic API.
