Bug description
WebDAV clients can request information about files and sub-folders in (at least) two different ways:
- by requesting a list of all items in a folder
PROPFIND /remote.php/webdav/my_folder/
(notice the tailing dash in the request)
returns a xml with one <d:response> section per item in the folder, each containing a <d:displayname> attribute - by requesting properties of each item in the folder seperatly
PROPFIND /remote.php/webdav/my_folder/my_subfolder
(notice NO tailing dash in the request)
returns a xml with only one <d:response> section for my_subfolder, containing a <d:displayname> attribute
Both xmls will have a <d:response> section for my_subfolder, however in certain circumstances their <d:displayname> attribute is not equal (see steps to reproduce)
I believe response 1 is the intended and correct response (as it matches up with the contents of the <d:href> attribute) and response 2 is a bug.
Steps to reproduce
Use web interface:
- as user_A create a folder my_folder_A
- as user_A share my_folder_A with user_B
- as user_B rename my_folder_A to my_folder_B
Now depending on which account you are using the same folder content is accessible by two different path. So far behaviour as expected.
Use a WebDAV client (e.g. Nemo on a Linux Mint machine) and observe the network requests:
4. with the credentials of user_B request the base directory
4.1. PROPFIND /remote.php/webdav/
is sent
4.2. receives the xml including <d:response> section for the shared folder with a <d:displayname> attribute of "my_folder_B"
This matches up with the tail of the <d:href> attribute and the way the folder name is displayed in the web interface.
4.3. "my_folder_B" is displayed in the Nemo GUI
4.4. Nemo immediately goes on requesting properties of each item in the base directory with an individual request for each one. E.g. PROPFIND /remote.php/webdav/my_folder_B
[N.B.: I don't see a particular benefit in this behaviour of Nemo as it seems to gain no information by this step, that are not already discovered with step 4.1, but technically there is nothing wrong with these requests]
4.5 receives the xml only containing the <d:response> section for the shared folder with a <d:displayname> attribute of "my_folder_A"
This does NOT match up with the tail of the <d:href> attribute and the way the folder name is displayed in the web interface.
4.6 Nemo changes the displayed name in the GUI from "my_folder_B" to "my_folder_A"
Expected behavior
<d:displayname> attribute of step 4.2 and 4.5 should at least be equal, probably matching up the the <d:href> tail.
