Hi Jean-Max

Can you please test a recent master build, or 7.5.2 that was just released, or the upcoming 7.4.7?

A couple of webDAV / curl fixes were made it in these versions.

See reports:

• https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154224
• https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152493
• https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154223

Thank you!
