WebDAV not authenticating

For some months my rules for automatic upload to my WebDAV server were working fine, now they stopped working. The log says "The operation couldn’t be completed. unauthorized, NSLocalizedFailureReason=unauthorized". If I try to reconnect to my server in the upload action the error windows says "NSURLErrorDomain error -1017".

I'm using OS X 10.9.5 and Hazel 3.3.2. All other programs using WebDAV still work fine.

Can you turn on debug logging as indicated in the sticky article near the top of this forum? Also, enter the following in Terminal:

defaults write com.noodlesoft.Hazel LogTags -array CONNECTION

After that, try it again and send over the logs.

Ok: Debug switched on, defaults added. These are the log entries:

Seems like it can't authenticate. Can you check if there's an entry for the server in the keychain? Also, see if there are multiple or just one.

There is/was only one entry in the keychain. I deleted it and tried to recreate the connection from scratch. This did not work and the mentioned -1017 error window appeared.

Did you re-create it by hand or have Hazel create it? If the former, delete it and try it again by editing the rule and selecting the destination server/folder again.

I create a new rule, choose "Upload", then "Other" in the drop down list and try to define a new WebDAV connection. The button "Connect" throws out the error -1017. I tried it with a different server (public provider) and it didn't work either with the same error.

I checked the files on my server. The last successful upload was just before Hazel version 3.3 came out. So it looks like something changed at that point.

I suggest emailing me. Try re-creating the rule and sending me the log output that results from that. Also, send in a screenshot of the connection settings you are using.
