Description Axel Braun 2013-08-28 08:34:27 UTC 
I have a shared drive that is connected via webdav.
When I click a PDF document, the error message
Es ist keine Anwendung zum Öffnen des Dateityps application/octetstream installiert.
Möchten Sie die Installation einer entsprechenden Anwendung versuchen?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open webdavs-folder
2. select document
3.
Actual Results:  
the documents appear as application/octetstream instead of their right file type (e.g. PDF)

Thanks for the bug report. If mime type detection goes wrong, then this is probably a KIO issue.

Note that mime type detection for remote files only takes the extension into account (to prevent excessive network traffic when downloading the files to examine their contents, which might be required to determine the type). Does your PDF file have the standard extension .pdf? If not, then it's expected that the type is not known.
Comment 2 Axel Braun 2013-08-28 08:46:55 UTC 
yes, it has the extention .pdf
