Question

Anyone experienced exception using below function?

tdse.GetObject(tmpFolderWebDavURL, EnumOpenMode.OpenModeView, null,
                                          XMLReadFilter.XMLReadAll) as Folder;

Seems if the last segment of webdav contains a dot then the method throws and exception.

for example

tmpFolderWebDavURL = "/webdav/test_publication/2.2 folder name" – fails exception thrown

tmpFolderWebDavURL = "/webdav/test_publication/22 folder name" – works

tmpFolderWebDavURL = "/webdav/test_publication/2.2 folder name/sub_folder" – works

Exception

Just like with spaces, dots must be escaped in webdav URLs.

So a space becomes “%20”, a dot becomes “%2E”. Try doing tmpFolderWebDavURL.Replace(".", "%2E").
