    • Dispatch Class: WebDav.REST

Linux file configuration

Test: w ##class(%File).Exists("/path/to/файл.txt") should return 0 if file does not exist and contains non-latin characters.

  1. Type about:config into the Location Bar (address bar) and press Enter.
  2. Right-click -> New -> Boolean -> Name: network.protocol-handler.expose.dav -> Value -> false
  3. Next time you click a link of protocol-type foo you will be asked which application to open it with. Choose LibreOffice: /usr/bin/loffice

Wireshark setup

  1. For local development install Wireshark with loopback support.
  2. Add capture filter: port 57772.
  3. Start capture.
  4. Add display filters:
