WebDav server connection timeout

imcinerney

I am working on configuring a WebDav server on a machine I host using lighttpd, and from everything I can tell the server itself is working. I can access the webdav share from Firefox, and also mount it in Gnome. However, when I try accessing it through Zotero's sync option I get a connection timed out.

I looked in the server logs, and I see an HTTP 200 response to the initial Zotero OPTIONS request, but nothing after.

I then ran a packet capture on the interface, and I can see my local machine receiving the HTTP 200 reply to the OPTIONS request (The server is .2 and my local machine is .3):

However, Zotero is timing out receiving that reply it seems. Is there any way to further diagnose this in the Zotero stack?

I submitted error report ID 646979624.

Sorry, we can't debug problems with individual WebDAV servers. You can test with a stock Apache WebDAV install in Docker to see that it works with standard WebDAV servers. (Accessing the server from Firefox isn't meaningful, since that would just be GET requests, and an OS WebDAV mount wouldn't necessarily use the same request patterns.)

(If you want to see the network requests Zotero is making, you can 1) enabled debug output and/or 2) start the beta with -jsdebugger to open it with the Firefox Browser Toolbox showing and check its Network tab.)
