Title:
  WebDAV: LibreOffice does not handle vnd.sun.star.webdav protocol out-
  of-the-box

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Invalid
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
