webdav After nginx anti-generation, it is impossible to rename the file location and cannot move other functions.

What is the reason for this? If you don't set nginx anti-generation, there will be no problem.

I'm not sure what you mean by "nginx anti-generation". Could you clarify?

Jun 14 '25 12:06 hacdias

The software did not provide an accurate translation, let me clarify again。If I use the directly through the software raidrive, there is no problem. After using nginx, I cannot rename and move it.

Did you follow the instructions to use reverse proxies? https://github.com/hacdias/webdav#reverse-proxy-service

You need to correctly forward the destination header.

Jun 14 '25 12:06 hacdias

Yes, the following is my configuration (domain name is just a substitute)

Jun 14 '25 13:06 buse88

What does the error say? Which WebDAV client are you using? Do you have the same issue without Nginx?

Jun 14 '25 13:06 hacdias

No use nginx no problem，The client used is RaiDrive URL：https://www.raidrive.com/

Jun 14 '25 13:06 buse88

use nginx Error message: File access denied You need the permission provided by S-1-1-0 to modify this file

Jun 14 '25 13:06 buse88

Do you have any logs provided by webdav that could help debug this? This definitely looks like some issue when reverse proxying, but I don't think I can help a lot without more information.

I find out the problem finally!!!

The tag latest of docker image hacdias/webdav is not the latest! 😂😂😂

See the picture below:

v5.8.0 works well !

@buse88 兄弟，如果你也是docker装的，看下是不是也用了默认的 latest 标签，改成 v5 或者 v5.8.0 重新装就没问题了。

Aug 07 '25 09:08 hpyer

It is, look: https://hub.docker.com/r/hacdias/webdav/tags

Maybe you need to pull it again?

Aug 09 '25 05:08 hacdias

Docker mirror's problem. I pulled the latest version after change mirror. Thanks~

我不是用docker，我是直接可执行程序运行的，我用的是v5.8.0版

@buse88 那你再对比下我的nginx配置。特别是下面这句，域名后面的 / 不能少。

if ($http_destination ~ "^https://webdav.example.com/(?<path>(.+))") {
    set $dest /$path;
}

https://github.com/hacdias/webdav/issues/231#issuecomment-2972758233这个是我的配置，我刚才试了下把 / 加上去也是不行

你是用哪个软件的呢，我使用的是RaiDrive,会不会是软件的原因

我就用的 windows 自带的 映射网络驱动器

Closing this since there hasn't been an update over the last month. The reverse proxy issue (renaming, moving) is not specific to this repository, but to all WebDAV server implementations. To improve the Nginx example, please open a PR.
