Public bug reported:
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.
