Webdav does not handle special characters or spaces

[Peter Holtzl]

When I add a webdav server for sync, Enpass does not handle if I have special character in my path or space:

Open-Xchange DAV:

davs://foo.bar/servlet/webdav.infostore/Userstore/UsÉÉÉer%20NaÉÉÉme does not work

but

davs://foo.bar/servlet/webdav.infostore/Userstore/username does well

(tested on Linux)

Hi @Peter Holtzl,

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Could you try adding %20 (for every special character) i.e if URL is "www.helloÉworld.com" use "www.hello%20Éworld.com". If the issue persists, let us know.

I can't believe this came from a team member. "%20" is the URL encoded representation of a space, not some weird escape sequence.

The correct encondig of the URL above would be "davs://foo.bar/servlet/webdav.infostore/Userstore/Us%C3%89%C3%89%C3%89er%20Na%C3%89%C3%89%C3%89me"

However, I found out that Enpass does neither require nor support pre-encoded URLs, not even "%20", which means you have to put "davs://foo.bar/servlet/webdav.infostore/Userstore/UsÉÉÉer NaÉÉÉme" to make it work.

Edit: This worked for a while but is broken the latest releases. Currently there does not seem to be a way to get spaces or non-ascii characters to work at all. Support says they are working on it, but is has been three months already.
