What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Hello,
I am trying to connect to a WebDAV server using rclone and I am getting a 401 Unauthorized error. I am asking for help. Other WebDAV clients (Windows default, RaiDrive, Chrome, etc.) connect and authenticate normally with the same credentials.
It works fine on other clients, but I'm having trouble figuring out why digest authentication is failing on rclone, which is giving me a 401 Unauthorized error.
In particular, I'm wondering what could be wrong with rclone's digest authentication handling in an environment where Cloudflare and Nginx are used as proxies. Is there anything I need to adjust in my rclone config, or do I need to add a specific exception rule for rclone requests in my Cloudflare/Nginx config?
Or is there a known compatibility issue between the way rclone handles digest authentication and my Cloudflare/Nginx proxy environment?
Thanks in advance for your help.
