Using 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 $? )") tramp-send-command-and-check(nil "dav" "user" "host" "test -d /var/www/html/webdav/index.html" t) tramp-handle-file-directory-p("/dav:user@host:/var/www/html/webdav/index.html") apply(tramp-handle-file-directory-p "/dav:user@host:/var/www/html/webdav/index.html") tramp-sh-file-name-handler(file-directory-p "/dav:user@host:/var/www/html/webdav/index.html") apply(tramp-sh-file-name-handler file-directory-p "/dav:user@host:/var/www/html/webdav/index.html") tramp-file-name-handler(file-directory-p "/dav:user@host:/var/www/html/webdav/index.html") file-directory-p("/dav:user@host:/var/www/html/webdav/index.html") find-file-noselect("/dav:user@host:/var/www/html/webdav/index.html" nil nil t) find-file("/dav:user@host:/var/www/html/webdav/index.html" t) call-interactively(find-file)
