file://some.server:80/DavWWWRoot/pwa/some/path/to/a/document clearly works since it's standard URL syntax. file://some.server@80/DavWWWRoot/pwa/some/path/to/a/document does not, since it's not a valid URL syntax. 443 is not enabled, so I can't test it, but given the fact that file://some.server@SSL/DavWWWRoot/pwa/some/path/to/a/document is also not a valid URL syntax, I know it will not work. And since https://www.webdavsystem.com/server/access/windows only talks about UNC path syntax, I even have no clue if this weird syntax will ever end up that way in a file:// URL. I have no idea how my colleagues did produce the file:// URL - for sure not manually. I just see that I received mails with a file:// URL, not with a UNC syntax REPOSITORY R241 KIO REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D15859 To: mkoller, dfaure, #frameworks Cc: bruns, ngraham, kde-frameworks-devel, michaelh
