Attachments: Dolphin redirects to browser
Dolphin works with a folder directly

Dolphin redirects to browser

When using Dophin to manage WebDAV locations it manages the files fine, but redirects to browser when you try to open a folder, saying "Dolphin doesn't suppot opening webpages, so a webbrowser will be opened". Interestingly, when you open a folder in a new tab/new window/split panel, it works as expected.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect to a WebDAV location
2. Open a folder

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin redirects to a browser with an error message.

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should open a folder.

You can see examples in attachments (locale is Russian)

I can reproduce this in Plasma 6.2.5 with frameworks 6.10.0 using Nextcloud WebDAV. Opening directories by double clicking does not work (opens a browser) but right click -> open in new tab/window does work. This bug makes WebDAV shares quite unusable, I am surprised this bug is not more popular. I wonder if it is an issue specific to some configuration?

This bug does not occur with a local WebDAV server I am developing. Maybe because it is http:// instead of https://

I can confirm with an http webdav server. It seems that webdav:/ is being replaced with http:/ in the dolphin location bar, so that at the next click it opens the browser.
