Summary:

Pages reports a WebDAV error as "An error occurred.". See attached screenshot.

Steps to Reproduce:

Bring up the WebDAV signin panel (tap wrench icon, "Share and Print", "Copy to WebDAV"). Enter a server address, username, and password as shown. Tap "sign in".

Expected Results:

Either success or an informative error message.

Actual Results:

Completely useless dialog box.

Regression:

I have no idea what the parameters of this bug are, of course, because Pages' error message is crap. It always happens on some servers. It doesn't happen on some other servers. Who knows why? Pages presumably knows, but it ain't telling. I used to expect better from you, Apple.

No informative errors are shown in the iPad's device logs.
