Although WebDAV editing of a file works fine under LO 4.3.0.4 on Windows. When working with the same file under LO 4.3.0.4 Build ID: 62ad5818884a2fc2e5780dd45466868d41009ec0 on MacOSX, I see a lot of PROPFIND requests in my access_log file. LO does this request when I navigate through the file with cursor keys or when I start typing. 174.243.66.107 - username [15/Aug/2014:21:16:55 +0200] "PROPFIND /dev/edit-3259/sample.odt HTTP/1.1" 207 470 174.243.66.107 - username [15/Aug/2014:21:17:01 +0200] "PROPFIND /dev/edit-3259/sample.odt HTTP/1.1" 207 470 174.243.66.107 - username [15/Aug/2014:21:17:01 +0200] "PROPFIND /dev/edit-3259/sample.odt HTTP/1.1" 207 470 174.243.66.107 - username [15/Aug/2014:21:17:02 +0200] "PROPFIND /dev/edit-3259/sample.odt HTTP/1.1" 207 470 174.243.66.107 - username [15/Aug/2014:21:17:03 +0200] "PROPFIND /dev/edit-3259/sample.odt HTTP/1.1" 207 470 174.243.66.107 - username [15/Aug/2014:21:17:04 +0200] "PROPFIND /dev/edit-3259/sample.odt HTTP/1.1" 207 470 174.243.66.107 - username [15/Aug/2014:21:17:05 +0200] "PROPFIND /dev/edit-3259/sample.odt HTTP/1.1" 207 470 174.243.66.107 - username [15/Aug/2014:21:17:10 +0200] "PROPFIND /dev/edit-3259/sample.odt HTTP/1.1" 207 470 174.243.66.107 - username [15/Aug/2014:21:17:11 +0200] "PROPFIND /dev/edit-3259/sample.odt HTTP/1.1" 207 470 174.243.66.107 - username [15/Aug/2014:21:17:12 +0200] "PROPFIND /dev/edit-3259/sample.odt HTTP/1.1" 207 470 174.243.66.107 - username [15/Aug/2014:21:17:13 +0200] "PROPFIND /dev/edit-3259/sample.odt HTTP/1.1" 207 470

(In reply to comment #1) > Are you having a specific problem with WebDAV access via OSX? Are there more > symptoms than the chatter in the logs? Hi Robinson, I'm opening an URL directly in LO, i.e. not from a mounted webDav in MacOSX. Example: https://mydomain.com/edit/42832/filename.doc Everything works, but slow, because when I type text or just navigate the document using cursor keys, LO starts to generate a lot of PROPFIND requests, slowing down the editing process.
Hello Robinson, I'm trying the same on a fresh Ubuntu with LO 4.2.4.2 the same issues, a lot of webDav PROPFIND requests in logs: when I start typing, navigating with cursor keys. Each keystroke generates PROPFIND requests.
Hello, I continue to research the issue: - lots of PROPFIND even if a WebDAV resource is mounted in Linux as a folder - I also found this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556749 Does it mean it's related to filesystem? Would be great if there are suggestions/workarounds for editing a WebDAV document via a direct link in LO on Linux/MAC
Multiple OS, and changed title to reflect it is a performance issue
Implementing some sort of short lifetime cache should solve this.
Thanks Giuseppe for letting us know. By 'cache' you mean it will be a fix for LO?
(In reply to Oleg Burlaca from comment #7) > Thanks Giuseppe for letting us know. By 'cache' you mean it will be a fix > for LO? Yes, only for direct WebDAV (e.g. protocols http/https/vnd.sun.star.webdav/vnd.sun.star.webdavs) won't work for mounted WebDAV. It will cache temporarily PROPFIND (the PROPFIND type that requests the available properties) results for a brief period of time, reducing the number of net accesses.
Cool, got it. I use direct webDav. (mounted doesn't work ok in MacOs for ex).

@Oleg Burlaca The current daily master available here: <http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/MacOSX-x86_64@49-TDF/current/> should contain the fix. You may install it following this instruction. <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/OS_X> Keep in mind that daily builds may be unstable.
(In reply to Giuseppe Castagno (aka beppec56) from comment #13) Just tried on Mac OS Mavericks, the fix works, COOOL!!! Now I see only a few PROPFIND requests in access_log. Waiting for the 5.3.0. (should be in January/February) Thanks!
Hello, Is this bug fixed? If so, could you please close it as RESOLVED FIXED?
