[Building Sakai] WebDAV issue in Sakai 2.9.2 - Duplicated relative path

[Daniel Merino]

Hi everybody.

First at all, I'm sorry if this issue has been discussed before in this 
list. Today I return to work after a long break.

After upgrading to Sakai 2.9.2, some of our users are experiencing 
errors in WebDAV connections when uploading resources through AnyClient 
app. We have had issues before with Windows and webDAV, but AnyClient 
had never failed in our previous 2.7.1. In fact, we recommend AnyClient 
to any user with WebDAV issues

It seems that relative path is badly managed somewhere and is 
duplicated, so instead of creating the new folder i.e. in 
/dav/<SITE_ID>/ , AnyClient tries to create it in 
/dav/<SITE_ID>/<SITE_ID>/ and it fails.

I have turned on the log in DavServlet in my 2.9.2 test server and this 
is what it is showing:

After looking in JIRA the latest changes in Sakai 2.9.3 related to 
webDAV, I have reverted SAK-19592, KNL-1035 and KNL-1050 in my test 
server. This has not solved our issue and I have not found more JIRAs 
that could be causing this problem.

Please, could somebody help me? This is a big headache for us as it is 
failing in our production environment.

I can provide any extra info or access to my test server if you need.

Best regards.
