SUMMARY

I'd like to connect to a local nextcloud in DOLPHIN via webdav. It works with nautilus, but not with dolphin.

In dolphin tried many combinations in the address line:

- webdav or webdavs at the beginning ("webdav://" or "webdavs://"), followed by:
- 192.168.abc.xyz/remote.php/dav/files/Keks/
- 192.168.abc.xyz/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/Keks/

Keks is the username in the nextcloud on the remote server

Whatever, I always get the same error message in the end: no connection to server.
Sometimes there is a warning that I tried to connect to a server using a username on a site where no username were necessary.

Same error when using the button "Add Network Folder".

In nautilus it works out of the box: click on connect to server, 
- davs://192.168.abc.xyz/remote.php/dav/files/Keks/ immediately asks for username and password and that's it. 

I translated from German to English, so exact wording in English my be slightly different. 

OS: TW, up-to-date.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open dolphin
2. click on network
3. click on add network folder
4. choose webdav
5. insert data
6. click save & connect

OBSERVED RESULT
error message

EXPECTED RESULT
connection to webdav

Sorry, it turns out it was a problem on my side: I forgot to change KDE Nextcloud domain name in Dolphin's bookmarks

The regular request for webdav has a precise format.
If you want to make it works, you should add the user name in the address line after an "@" like following :
webdavs://username@192.168.XX.XX/home-of-the-user

Or, use "knetattach" but give all the data in particular the username
have a try

I noticed the same error message after the password for the webdav share was changed on the webdav server, but not in Dolphin - and in fact, the error message should claim that the login credentials are wrong, not that the folder does not exist.
(openSUSE Tumbleweed 20220806)

I dont know if this is the same bug - can you advise?
