CalDav and CardDAV "could not create account"

I had a working CalDAV and CardDAV account for URL looking like https://foo.bar

I changed the URL on my server to look like https://foo.bar/nextcloud and everything works fine with other devices and browser.

If I now want to create a new CalDAV and CardDAV account on SailfishOS 2.1.2.3 (both on my Jolla1 and JollaC), CalDAV fails with the following:

  • Creating account...
  • Connecting to server...
  • Getting calendar details...

"Oops, problem with account creation / Could not create account"

This happens whether I specify address book and calendar path or not, and also whether I select CardDAV or not.

If I don't select CalDAV though, it can create the account, but with enabling CalDAV later, no calendars can be loaded afterwards, so it is fairly useless.

Any ideas? I can get more detailed logs later if necessary.
