Using WebDav to connect to the so-called Y:-drive

August 2008


Under the KDE, Konqueror supports the WebDav protocol. Filling in the URL webdav://p1234567@netstorage.id.rug.nl:80/oneNet/NetStorage/ suffices to connect to the server.

It seems that neither davfs2 (mount.davfs) nor cadaver properly handle the NetStorage server. Sniffing reveals that they never do the PROPFIND Konqueror does. I won't investigate further now.
