/etc/apache2/mods-available/setenvif.conf from the apache2 package has this:
BrowserMatch " Konqueror/4" redirect-carefully
While dolphin is Konqueror/5 in focal. Trying to delete a directory on webdav dolphin just gets a http 301 redirect.
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Release: 20.04
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
apache2:
Installed: 2.4.41-4ubuntu3.1
3) What you expected to happen
Dolphin should be able to remove directories over webdav
4) What happened instead
Apache issues a redirect from prefix/dir to prefix/dir/
127.0.0.1 - user1 [07/May/2021:02:19:53 +0000] "DELETE /webdav/test HTTP/1.1" 301 578 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) KHTML/5.68.0 (like Gecko) Konqueror/5 KIO/5.68"

Dolphin doesn't follow the redirect hence nothing happens. |
[Impact]
WebDAV DELETE operations on directories don't work for the Dolphin file manager, due to not being recognized by Apache. This limits KDE users from managing remote filesystems.
[Workaround]
On the server-side, manually setting the BrowserMatch in Apache's configuration will fix it. On the client-side, change the user agent in Dophin Settings > Customize > User Agent to Custom and then specify a supported user agent such as "Konqueror/4".
[Test Case]
0. Create a testing VMs.
a. Server VMs can be for each targeted Ubuntu release.
Name these 'davtest-<codename>'
b. Client VM is Ubuntu focal, and needs to run graphics apps.
1. On server, install Apache configured to provide a directory tree via WebDAV
a. Create the DAV directory structure
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/webdav/example/test
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/webdav
b. Install Apache with DAV
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo a2enmod dav dav_fs
c. Create /etc/apache2/sites-available/davtest.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/webdav
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Alias /webdav /var/www/webdav
<Directory /var/www/webdav>
DAV On
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
d. Enable the new configuration and restart apache2
sudo a2ensite test.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2
2. On client, install Dolphin (requires the core KDE system as well)
a. sudo apt-get install dolphin
b. dolphin
c. In dolphin, press C-l and enter "webdav://davtest-<codename>"
d. Create some files and dirs
e. Verify can delete files
f. Attempt to delete directories, then refresh (F5) and check if still visible.
g. Check on server whether directory was actually deleted
An alternative to #2 uses curl instead of Dolphin:
a. curl -I -X DELETE -A 'prefix dolphin' http://davtest-<codename>/example/test
b. Try also with 'prefix Konqueror/5' or 'prefix Konqueror/4'
[Where Problems Could Occur]
The fix only touches the package's default DAV config file, so things to watch for would be misbehaviors with configuration settings when DAV is installed. For instance, during system upgrades, if customized httpd-dav.conf files start seeing problems then it might relate to this.
Since the fix is particular to KDE, if any issues particular to KDE applications operating against Apache2 servers might be relevant.

[Impact]
WebDAV DELETE operations on directories don't work for the Dolphin file manager, due to not being recognized by Apache. This limits KDE users from managing remote filesystems.
[Workaround]
Some versions of the client may allow overriding the global default user agent.
[Test Case]
0. Create a testing VMs.
a. Server VMs can be for each targeted Ubuntu release.
Name these 'davtest-<codename>'
b. Client VM is Ubuntu focal, and needs to run graphics apps.
1. On server, install Apache configured to provide a directory tree via WebDAV
a. Create the DAV directory structure
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/webdav/example/test
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/webdav
b. Install Apache with DAV
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo a2enmod dav dav_fs
c. Create /etc/apache2/sites-available/davtest.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/webdav
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Alias /webdav /var/www/webdav
<Directory /var/www/webdav>
DAV On
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
d. Enable the new configuration and restart apache2
sudo a2ensite test.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2
2. On client, install Dolphin (requires the core KDE system as well)
a. sudo apt-get install dolphin
b. dolphin
c. In dolphin, press C-l and enter "webdav://davtest-<codename>"
d. Create some files and dirs
e. Verify can delete files
f. Attempt to delete directories, then refresh (F5) and check if still visible.
g. Check on server whether directory was actually deleted
An alternative to #2 uses curl instead of Dolphin:
a. curl -I -X DELETE -A 'prefix dolphin' http://davtest-<codename>/example/test
b. Try also with 'prefix Konqueror/5' or 'prefix Konqueror/4'
[Where Problems Could Occur]
The fix only touches the package's default DAV config file, so things to watch for would be misbehaviors with configuration settings when DAV is installed. For instance, during system upgrades, if customized httpd-dav.conf files start seeing problems then it might relate to this.
Since the fix is particular to KDE, if any issues particular to KDE applications operating against Apache2 servers might be relevant.

An alternative to #2 uses curl instead of Dolphin:

This will display a "Moved Permanent" redirect warning (which will make dolphin fail).
In the user agent, 'prefix' is a placeholder and any text can be used. E.g. 'xyz dolphin'.
b. Adding a trailing / will make it avoid the redirect. I.e.:
curl -I -X DELETE -A 'prefix dolphin/21.12.3' http://davtest-<codename>.lxd/example/test/
c. Try also with 'prefix Konqueror/5' or 'prefix Konqueror/4'. The former may not work but the latter should.

[Impact]
WebDAV DELETE operations on directories don't work for the Dolphin file manager, due to not being recognized by Apache. This limits KDE users from managing remote filesystems.
[Workaround]
Some versions of the client may allow overriding the global default user agent.
[Test Case]

g. Check on server whether directory was actually deleted
An alternative to #2 uses curl instead of Dolphin:
a. curl -I -X DELETE -A 'prefix dolphin' http://davtest-<codename>.lxd/example/test
This will display a "Moved Permanent" redirect warning (which will make dolphin fail).
In the user agent, 'prefix' is a placeholder and any text can be used. E.g. 'xyz dolphin'.
b. Adding a trailing / will make it avoid the redirect. I.e.:
curl -I -X DELETE -A 'prefix dolphin/21.12.3' http://davtest-<codename>.lxd/example/test/
c. Try also with 'prefix Konqueror/5' or 'prefix Konqueror/4'. The former may not work but the latter should.
[Where Problems Could Occur]
The fix only touches the package's default DAV config file, so things to watch for would be misbehaviors with configuration settings when DAV is installed. For instance, during system upgrades, if customized httpd-dav.conf files start seeing problems then it might relate to this.
Since the fix is particular to KDE, if any issues particular to KDE applications operating against Apache2 servers might be relevant.
[Other Info]
Some versions of Dolphin apparently use the "Konqueror/5" user agent, while others use "dolphin". This SRU adds supports for both, to ensure the issue is fully resolved.
[Original Report]
/etc/apache2/mods-available/setenvif.conf from the apache2 package has this:
BrowserMatch " Konqueror/4" redirect-carefully
While dolphin is Konqueror/5 in focal. Trying to delete a directory on webdav dolphin just gets a http 301 redirect.
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Release: 20.04
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
apache2:
Installed: 2.4.41-4ubuntu3.1
3) What you expected to happen
Dolphin should be able to remove directories over webdav
4) What happened instead
Apache issues a redirect from prefix/dir to prefix/dir/
127.0.0.1 - user1 [07/May/2021:02:19:53 +0000] "DELETE /webdav/test HTTP/1.1" 301 578 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) KHTML/5.68.0 (like Gecko) Konqueror/5 KIO/5.68"
Dolphin doesn't follow the redirect hence nothing happens. |
[Impact]
WebDAV DELETE operations on directories don't work for the Dolphin file manager, due to not being recognized by Apache. This limits KDE users from managing remote filesystems.
[Workaround]
Some versions of the client may allow overriding the global default user agent.
[Test Case]
0. Create a testing VMs.
a. Server VMs can be for each targeted Ubuntu release.
Name these 'davtest-<codename>'
b. Client VM is Ubuntu focal, and needs to run graphics apps.
1. On server, install Apache configured to provide a directory tree via WebDAV
a. Create the DAV directory structure
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/webdav/example/test
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/webdav
b. Install Apache with DAV
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo a2enmod dav dav_fs
c. Create /etc/apache2/sites-available/davtest.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName davtest-<codename>.lxd
DocumentRoot /var/www/webdav
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Alias /webdav /var/www/webdav
<Directory /var/www/webdav>
DAV On
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
d. Enable the new configuration and restart apache2
sudo a2ensite davtest.conf
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2
2. On client, install Dolphin (requires the core KDE system as well)
a. sudo apt-get install dolphin
b. dolphin
c. In dolphin, press C-l and enter "webdav://davtest-<codename>"
d. Create some files and dirs
e. Verify can delete files
f. Attempt to delete directories, then refresh (F5) and check if still visible.
g. Check on server whether directory was actually deleted
An alternative to #2 uses curl instead of Dolphin:
a. curl -I -X DELETE -A 'prefix dolphin/' http://davtest-<codename>.lxd/example/test
This will display a "Moved Permanent" redirect warning (which will make dolphin fail).
