Subject: webdav via tramp failures and error
Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2012 21:17:59 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50CD2F57.7040801@mousecar.com> (raw)
Has anyone successfully used emacs to access a webdav server and edit
documents on it?
Using <http://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/> as guidance, I tried opening
an existing file for editing with "C-x C-f
/dav:user@host:/var/www/html/webdave/index.html". This "user" already
has a password-protected account on this webdav server and has already
logged into it with other apps (e.g., cadaver and the Gnome file
manager) and created and edited files etc.
Moreover, tramp successfully connects to the same machine via ssh ("C-x
C-f /ssh:user@host:/var/www/html/index.html") and allows the same user
to edit documents outside of the webdav namespace.
So the failure isn't due to either networking or permissions. Here's
the emacs *Backtrace*:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function nil)
nil(nil "dav" "user" "host")
tramp-maybe-open-connection(nil "dav" "user" "host")
tramp-send-command(nil "dav" "user" "host" "( test -d
/var/www/html/webdav/index.html 2>/dev/null; echo tramp_exit_status $? )")
