Curl has been updated in coreelec 21 to version 8.6.0 which introduced this regression and as a result the CCurlFile() function called by kodi on library scan and scraping almost always returns an error when called on DAV(s) remote storage like the following:
CCurlFile::Exists - <davs://server/path/> Failed: Weird server reply(8)
Process directory 'davs://server/path/' does not exist - skipping scan.
making impossible to use webdav as a remote storage on 21-omega as reported here:

Sorry for the links like this but discourse won’t let me post with more links in messages.
Curl needs to be bumped at least to version 8.7.1 which should solve the issue (I confirm from testing different curl versions outside coreelec on my webdav storage that on 8.7.1 libcurl at least doesn’t return any error on GETs, couldn’t try on kodi yet to see the CCurlFile() response) but I don’t know if packages version on coreelec are simply pulled from libreelec or can be bumped indipendently.
The former being the case, should this issue be reported directly to libreelec?
