#5785 closed defect (wontfix)

Wrong timestamp when uploading to remote server

Reported by: finofontana Owned by: dkocher
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: webdav Version: 4.0.1
Severity: major Keywords: timestamp modification date webdav
Cc: Architecture: Intel
Platform: Mac OS X 10.6

Description

When syncing my Mac with my remote server (a Synology NAS) using webdav, modification dates on the server are set to the upload time. I would expect the modification dates to be equal to those on my Mac.

Currently writing the modification date on remote files is not supported for WebDAV.

Replying to dkocher:

Thanks for the quick reply. Can you tell the reason why it's not supported. It makes CyberDuck WebDAV practically unusable.

There is no particular reason beyond just a missing implementation. We are currently contributing to ​Sardine which will replace the WebDAV implementation in the future and hope to bring in that functionality in there.

At least mod_webdav does not allow changing the last modified timestamp.

  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

The WebDAV specification does say nothing about changing timestamps and therefore this can unfortunately not be supported.
