I'm currently testing version 11.2 on OS X, and about 50% of my Database sources (webdav connections) fail with the message: "Error: 401 Unauthorized for:".

They work just fine on the 10.3 Windows-version, and the same goes for the 11.1-version on OS X.

Is this a known issue, do I have to "upgrade" some settings or ...?

Hello,

Did you import them in 11.2 or you had them from 11.1?

Hi,
I made a blank installation and typed them in again manually, so there should be no "upgrade/conversion" issues. I also tried removing them, and retyping them again several times, to no avail.

Hello,

The only known problem for WebDAV/FTP browsing is that it always starts browsing from the root of the webdav or ftp site.
So for: http://my.http/webdav/path/to/my/directory it will try to access http://my.http/webdav/

or for: ftp://my.ftp/path/to/my/directory it will try to access
ftp://my.ftp/

This can be a problem if the webdav/ftp site doesn't allow access outside of the user home directory.
But this problem was also in 11.1 so it wouldn't have worked there either.

Are any of these webdav repositories public so we could try to reproduce the problem?

Hi,

In case other people stumble upon the same problem...

It turned out to be a username problem. If the username contains a white space(or other special chars that get escaped) it is mistakenly escaped twice in the URL, so instead of user%20name it ends up as user%2520name and as a result the authentication fails.

I have added this problem to our bug tracking tool and we will resolve it in the next version of Oxygen.

Hello,

This problem has been resolved in the latest build of Oxygen 11.2(build 2010061615). You can download it from our site:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/download.html

Fixed the escaping algorithm that made the authentication fail for the FTP and WebDAV data sources based on URLs containing a user name or a password with escapable characters.

Let us know if you encounter further problems with this build.

It seems that this bug has re-emerged in the version I just purchased (XML Editor 11.2, build 2010031913 - Professional edition)

User names with spaces fail upon login ("Error: 401 Unauthorized for:").
