Uploading a local file containing a plus `+` character to WebDAV fails

ThiefMaster · January 27, 2023, 12:01pm

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Uploading a local file containing a plus + character to WebDAV fails.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.61.1-DEV
- os/version: gentoo 2.9 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 5.15.80-gentoo (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.19.4
- go/linking: dynamic
- go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

DFS via WebDAV. Probably some rather old Microsoft implementation.

The command you were trying to run (eg `rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp`)

rclone copy -vvv --retries 1 --dump headers,responses /tmp/test.txt 'dfs:Projects/FOO-BAR/Indico Import/' --log-file /tmp/rclone-test-ok.txt
rclone copy -vvv --retries 1 --dump headers,responses /tmp/test+foo.txt 'dfs:Projects/FOO-BAR/Indico Import/' --log-file /tmp/rclone-test-plus-failed.txt

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[dfs]
type = webdav
url = https://dfs.cern.ch/dfs
vendor = other
user = XXX
pass = XXX

A log from the command with the `-vv` flag

Successful one

hello and welcome to the forum,

i was able to upload a file with +
the server is based on sabre/dav - https://sabre.io/

The webdav protocol is certainly capable of uploading files with + in. In fact the integraton tests test this against 3 different webdav servers. So I suspect a problem with the implementation.

+ means something in URLs so it is a common problem

Unfortunately we don't have an encoding for + which would make a work-around.

You could try using %2B instead of the + that might work.

Sure, my workaround was indeed to simply replace + with _ in the filenames. My point was that maybe this could be handled by rclone in case it's e.g. an incompatibility with some old microsoft webdav implementation.

Rclone has its encoding system for exactly this purpose. Unfortunately it doesn't have + as that's valid on all backends at the moment.

It could be added though
