Inconsistent WebDAV endpoints

[J0WI]

The documented url is /remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/, but remote.php/webdav/ is still exposed to the user interface:

server/apps/files/templates/appnavigation.php

Lines 44 to 45 in 1074e98

	<input id="webdavurl" type="text" readonly="readonly"
	value="<?php p(\OCP\Util::linkToRemote('webdav')); ?>"/>

server/lib/private/OCS/CoreCapabilities.php

Line 55 in 1074e98

'webdav-root' => $this->config->getSystemValue('webdav-root', 'remote.php/webdav'),

And some hardcoded endpoints are here:

Also hardcoded into some of my scripts and configs. Gonna have to go through to change that... 🤣

Referencing #18061, it may be nice to keep the old endpoint around for a bit before it is fully deprecated. Though the web interface exposed link should change.

What's the rationale to deprecate a static endpoint that depends on login credentials only? In terms of user documentation, it's far easier to have a static string users can cut'n'paste than /USERNAME/ …

Is this Issue still valid? If not, please close this issue. Thanks! :)

It's been changed on the frontend for files at this point, so I'd say that places still using the old endpoint should be reported as a separate more specific bug.

Let's close.
