"Could not connect to WebDav server" in Zotero for iOS 1.0 (175)

I can log in to the WebDav server with my credentials from a browser, from the Zotero desktop application, and with PaperShip, but the iOS version doesn't recognize the server. This is the first time I'm checking WebDav with the iOS version. I don't know if the previous releases had the same issue.

    It looks like that the WebDav server must be running on https...I don't have any problem running it on HTTP with the desktop app...

    All iOS apps need to use HTTPS these days.
  • gusv2007
    Yes, I imagined that. But why there is no restriction with PaperShip?
  • dstillman
    PaperShip hasn't been updated in years, so it likely hasn't had to comply with the new rules.
  • gusv2007
    Ok. Is there any chance that Zotero use a normal connection to the server?
  • dstillman
    Note that you can still connect to WebDAV servers on local IP addresses via HTTP. If you have an internet-connected WebDAV server that doesn't support HTTP, you should use a different WebDAV provider. There's no excuse for a provider not supporting HTTPS by now.

    I don't know what you mean by "normal". HTTPS is "normal" these days. HTTP is insecure and shouldn't be used.

    I’m running a WebDAV server on a Raspberry with Apache. I will add https later. Thanks
