WebDAV PROPFIND EOF problem with WebDav (works on v1.60.1, fails on v1.70.2)

jerry34ha · May 26, 2026, 7:27pm

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

rclone lsd against a Nextcloud/WebDAV backend consistently fails with:

error listing: Propfind "https://cloud.leviia.com/remote.php/dav/files/<USER>/": EOF

The same WebDAV endpoint works correctly with:

curl
rclone v1.60.1-DEV

but fails with:

rclone v1.70.2 (bundled with TrueNAS SCALE 25.10.2.1)

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

Version that fails:

rclone v1.70.2
os/version: debian 12.11 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 6.12.33-production+truenas (x86_64)
os/type: linux
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.23.5
go/linking: dynamic
go/tags: none

Version that succeeds:

rclone v1.60.1-DEV
os/version: debian trixie/sid (64 bit)
os/kernel: 6.18.7-76061807-generic (x86_64)
os/type: linux
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.22.2
go/linking: dynamic
go/tags: none

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

According to their website, their service is based on Nextcloud.

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

rclone lsd :webdav: \
--webdav-url "https://cloud.leviia.com/remote.php/dav/files/MyUserName" \
--webdav-vendor nextcloud \
--webdav-user "MyUserName" \
--webdav-pass "$(rclone obscure 'MyAppPassword')" -vv

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

There is no config, to simplify the report, the command line above bypasses the config.

Paste config here

welcome to the forum,

that version is almost one year old.
please rclone selfupdate and test again.

and for a deeper look, try --dump flags such as --dump=headers

jerry34ha · May 27, 2026, 6:54am

Hi, thank you for your response.

I updated rclone to:

root@truenas[~]# rclone version
rclone v1.74.2
os/version: debian 12.11 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 6.12.33-production+truenas (x86_64)
os/type: linux
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.26.3
go/linking: static
go/tags: none

Got the exact same error.

Here is the response with the --dump headers parameter:

compare the output for the working version and non-working version and try to find the difference.

try to figure out the exact version where the first issue occurs.

Here is the output from the working version:

I will try to find the version when this does not work anymore. I'll have to find out how to upgrade to a specific version in Linux Pop!_OS (I'd rather not experiment on my NAS )

that does not appear to be a complete debug log?
and to keep the log small, --low-level-retries=1 --retries=1

can you post the exact curl command with minimal redactions, perhaps with debug output.

jerry34ha · May 28, 2026, 6:35am

Thank you for your help.

After more testing and your guidance, I can now confirm that:

rclone 1.74.2 installed on Pop!_OS 24.04 can successfully queries the webdav endpoint.
rclone 1.74.2 installed on TrueNAS 25.10.2.1 fails on the same webdav endpoint.

So I think I need now to investigate my TrueNAS setup.

asdffdsa · May 28, 2026, 11:58am

good testing,

might try using a config file and see what happens.
