Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/898

Describe the bug

I'm using sync strategy "Merge" using my own WebDAV server.
When I add one or more bookmarks in my sync folder, floccus shows the following error message at next sync:
"E018: Couldn't authenticate with the server."
When I re-initiate the sync (e.g. Sync Now button) the recently added bookmarks is removed.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Add a bookmark in the sync folder
Click "Sync Now"
When error message appears repeat step 2
Bookmark is removed instead to of being uploaded to the server.

Expected behavior

Upon sync the locally added bookmarks should be uploaded to the server.

Screenshots

Desktop

OS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) 21H1
Browser: Firefox
Browser Version: 89.0.2 (64-bit)
Floccus version: 4.6.4
Floccus sync method: webdav

Server

Model: Synology DiskStation DS918+
OS: Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) 6.2.4-25556

Debug log

First sync, with error message:
floccus-4.6.4-2021-07-02.log-8.txt

Second sync, falsely removing the locally added bookmark:
floccus-4.6.4-2021-07-02.log-9.txt

Additional context

I noticed that my sync file on the server show Jun 9 as the last modification date. Has the add-on been updated around this date? Maybe this helps.

Hey @RonMatGH

This seems not to be due to floccus. Last release was Apr 24 2021.

If you're up for some debugging, try this.

Firefox

Go to about:debugging
go to "This firefox"
click on Inspect button next to floccus entry
go to the network tab in the inspector
trigger a sync by clicking on sync now for the account of your choice.
check the failing network requests

Chrome

Go to chrome://extensions
enable Developer mode
click on dist/html/background.html button in floccus' entry next to "Inspect views: "
go to the network tab in the inspector window
trigger a sync by clicking on sync now for the account of your choice
check the failing network requests

You can also try to replicate the HTTP request that floccus does to save the file in your webdav share:

curl -X PUT --user "username:password" -T '/path/to/local/file.xbel' https://your/url/to/file.xbel

The peculiar thing is that the sync did not fail earlier. There's a number of requests before any syncing is done that should have failed as well, preventing any wrong bookkeeping.
