Created attachment 169323 [details] 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.

Created attachment 169324 [details] Dolphin works with a folder directly
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.

Git commit 11d21eef81aceab26129bed2135a7f2f9a15e14c by Alberto Mattea. Committed on 27/10/2025 at 04:27. Pushed by meven into branch 'master'. [http] Remember that we're doing webdav while handling redirects We were reverting to plain http(s), which confused clients like dolphin. If the redirection target is plaintext use 'webdav' or 'dav' (respecting the current name choice), otherwise 'webdavs' or 'davs'. Note that the encryption status of the redirection target can be different from the current one, so we cannot blindly use the old protocol.
