Bug ID: 69360
Summary: Inconsistent DELETE behavior between DefaultServlet
and WebdavServlet
Product: Tomcat 9
Version: 9.0.95
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: micha...@apache.org
Target Milestone: -----
If a resource cannot be deleted by the DefaultServlet
https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/c50b8aa2588c85df86c0c6e0cd03e79700822360/java/org/apache/catalina/servlets/DefaultServlet.java#L699-L700
METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED is returned. Either the resource is readOnly or
java.io.File#delete() returns false. Reasonable. But the WebdavServlet says
https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/c50b8aa2588c85df86c0c6e0cd03e79700822360/java/org/apache/catalina/servlets/WebdavServlet.java#L1703-L1714
INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR which is inconsistent and not necessarily true. We can
only return this if we use Files#delete(Path).
If no one objects I will return METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED for both servlets. Took me
some time to search for the exception in the catalina.out which I haven't found
until I have found this inconsistency.
