On the other hand, you can’t expect an .htaccess file from a subdir to
be used at all for a request on the top level. Now that I think again
about it, James, I assume you were referring to the
/etc/apache2/conf-available/owncloud.conf file (and not some file under
/etc/owncloud/ as I initially assumed).

I wonder if it will go in the way of some other webdav implementation,
I’ll look into it and will consider it for the next upload, thank you both.

Regards

David

The .well-known/* URLs needs to be at the top level of the installation
like:

>   RewriteRule ^/\.well-known/carddav /owncloud/remote.php/carddav/
[R=301,L]
>   RewriteRule ^/\.well-known/caldav /owncloud/remote.php/caldav/ [R=301,L]

Clients are not expecting the .well-known in a subdir.

Bug#811601: owncloud: Consider adding redirects for well-known CardDAV and CalDAV URI

[James Valleroy]

Package: owncloud
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Some CardDAV/CalDAV clients such as DAVdroid need the "well-known" service
discovery URIs to connect to an owncloud server. I found that DAVdroid
was able
to connect only after I added these lines to owncloud's apache conf:

Redirect 301 /.well-known/carddav /owncloud/remote.php/carddav
Redirect 301 /.well-known/caldav /owncloud/remote.php/caldav

Please consider adding these lines to the packaged owncloud.conf.
