After running `soffice http://some/webdav/path`, this was the apache access log from our webdav server: "PROPFIND http://some/webdav/path HTTP/1.1" 207 1043 "-" "LibreOffice" "HEAD http://some/webdav/path HTTP/1.1" 200 299 "-" "LibreOffice" "GET http://some/webdav/path HTTP/1.1" 200 1504043 "-" "LibreOffice" "LOCK http://some/webdav/path HTTP/1.1" 401 709 "-" "LibreOffice" I think that LibreOffice is detecting that the server supports WebDav. Issuing a LOCK requires additional permissions, so LibreOffice prompts me for username/password. Since I have no username on this server, I hit "Cancel", and LibreOffice responds with: "General Internet error has occurred." Issue happens both on the command line, via `soffice <webdav url>` and from the GUI's open-file dialog. To test this on a public svn repo, try opening http://unladen-swallow.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/LICENSE. wget can fetch it without issue, but LibreOffice shows the following error: Error reading data from the Internet. Server error message: 405 Method Not Allowed. This first started happening to me after I upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 (which came with LibreOffice 3.5) to Ubuntu 14.04 (which came with LibreOffice 4.2.6.3 420m0(Build:3)).
