Webdav problems with cadaver: "Did not find a collection resource."

[Bruno Bzeznik]

Hi,

I just installed irods-webdav on a server that is used as a gateway to irods, following and adapting the configuration from http://irods.org/post/how-to-drag-and-drop-access-to-irods-with-webdav
Many thanks for this clear step-by-step doc!

I'm doing my tests with the linux client "cadaver".

It's seems to work, but only if I use the "-t" (tolerant) option of cadaver:

bzizou@bart:~$ cadaver -t http://ciment-grid.ujf-grenoble.fr/irods-webdav/home/bzizou
Ignored error: /irods-webdav/home/bzizou/ not WebDAV-enabled:
Did not find a collection resource.
dav:/irods-webdav/home/bzizou/? ls
Listing collection `/irods-webdav/home/bzizou/': succeeded.
Coll: [...]

If I remove the -t, of course, cadaver exits. But with this option, I'm able to browse, cd and get files.

I noticed only 2 things:
- not all my collections are listed, some are strangely missing, but if I cd into a non-listed one, it works and I can get files from it
- at the connection, I get a 401 on the first OPTIONS query; but it might be normal in the auth process:
129.88.37.23 - - [15/Sep/2015:16:38:08 +0200] "OPTIONS /irods-webdav/home/bzizou/ HTTP/1.1" 401 1198 "-" "cadaver/0.23.3 neon/0.30.1"
129.88.37.23 - - [15/Sep/2015:16:38:08 +0200] "OPTIONS /irods-webdav/home/bzizou/ HTTP/1.1" 200 380 "-" "cadaver/0.23.3 neon/0.30.1"
129.88.37.23 - - [15/Sep/2015:16:38:08 +0200] "PROPFIND /irods-webdav/home/bzizou/ HTTP/1.1" 207 801 "-" "cadaver/0.23.3 neon/0.30.1"

My question is: how to debug this? I couldn't find any relevant informations into the log files of tomcat or apache.

First question...are you using the 'enterprise' version of Milton, or just building using the 'community'?

Community only supports WebDav level 1, I suspect the 'tolerant' flag is related to this.  DFC, in cooperation with the consortium, is looking to get a license to distribute the 'enterprise' milton libs that support WebDav2 at the moment.  This is my first impression anyhow.  On the listings, usually I first go to ACLs, but at any rate the first thing to check, assuming you are using tomcat, is to tail the catalina.out when doing that listing operations, I'd be interested to see what that yields.

I attached the catalina.out file resulting after a connection and a simple ls using cadaver.

Is the "old" irods webdavis interface (https://github.com/nesi/webdavis) still working with irods 4.1?
We used an old snapshot of this solution and was working very well when we were using irods 3.3. Do you think that reverting to it might be a solution for us?

Best regards
