Hi again,

the webdav share is located on an OwnCloud instance.
It is possible to get a directory listing of the specific directory with the following ZnClient request:

ZnClient new username: 'X' password: 'Y'; get: 'https://owncloud.server.de/remote.php/webdav/monticello'

In a Pharo 2.0 image do the following steps:

* MonticelloBrowser: select package
* MonticelloBrowser->'+Repository'
* add location: 'https://owncloud.server.de/remote.php/webdav/monticello' username: 'X' password: 'Y'
* MonticelloBrowser->'Open'

* ProgressBar with the following name shows up:
� � 'Loading all file names from https://owncloud.server.de/remote.php/webdav/monticello'
It gets interrupted by a PreDebugWindow with title
� � 'MCRepositoryError: Could not access�https://owncloud.server.de/remote.php/webdav/monticello: ZnHttpUnsuccessful: 404 Not Found'

Opening the Debugger gives the following stacktrace

MCHttpRepository>>loadAllFileNames in Block: [:exception | (exception className beginsWith: 'Zn...etc...

Trying to copy .mcz files to the new repository afterwards triggers the same error.
However, the selected .mcz file gets copied to the WebDAV share.

The used operating system is OS X 10.6.8.
The 'System Reporter' shows the following info:

It should work. But I am not aware of any official, public repositories that run HTTPS, so its hard to test. I also understand that it could be difficult to give stack traces, but details are necessary to make any progress on helping you.

One thing you could try is to access the repository directly: i.e. create a ZnClient that tries to read the listing or a specific package.

Sven

thanks for the initial info that it should work.

I would have given further details but currently I can't access the machine where I tried it.
I'll try your suggestion and provide a more detailed report as soon as possible.

Best,
Manfred�
