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!
